GED®

Currently, the only Virginia Board-approved high school equivalency examination in Virginia is the GED® test, which was developed to enable persons who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the attainment of abilities normally associated with the completion of a high school program of study. GED® Testing Service is a joint venture of the American Council on Education and Pearson VUE. Delivered in a computer-based format, the test consists of four content areas: Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. See High School Equivalency (HSE) Credential or GED.com for information about GED® Testing in Virginia.
