General Education Development (GED)®
Get Prepared and Test with Confidence!
The GED® is a four-part high school equivalency exam in reading, language arts, social studies, science, and math. GED® is an excellent option for students who didn’t finish high school but may have knowledge and skills comparable to a high school graduate.
At Edmonds, you can take preparation classes that allow you to build your skills and test with confidence. Classes are available day and evening to fit your schedule.
