Where did you take your GED exams? \n\nIn New York, people who took their GED must request a copy of their diploma or diploma & test scores from the state Department of Education. Check with the Dept. of Education in the state that you took your GED exams.

You can purchase a used GED preparation book and start studying and practicing. If you have trouble in a subject, you can call the library. They often have the names and numbers of people in the literacy league that will come to help you get back on target.\nThe GED Test itself is usually free and takes just a few hours. \nBy the way, it is a GREAT thing that you want the GED, all Universities accept the GED and you can attain any goal you wish! Stay with it!

Check to see if the tech school will accept an "Ability to Benefit test" instead of a GED or diploma. (Call the tech school you are interested in).  My former community college did.  If they don't you can try to take the GED test without a class beforehand, I believe.  \n\nGood luck :)

If you are concerned about passing it, check with your local school district about adult GED courses.  They will likely be very inexpensive and give you a pretest to determine areas you need to work on.  You would then  study those areas and prepare to take the test.\n\nBest Wishes,\nSue

I did, a few years back. You get a couple breaks to go outside, or in another room and relax. It seems like a big scary thing, but it is not so hard really. I am terrible at math and spelling and dropped out in 9th grade, took the test about 5 years later without studying inbetween, and passed with flying colors. Best of luck to you! :)

I don't think you can.  I believe you have to do monitored testing for the GED.

There have been a couple of cases where boot camps have over done it, and they have lost kids to dehydration, or undetected physical ailments. \n\nI would ask about the rigors, and protections built in. Also, what type of people will be attending? There are lots of ways to complete a GED, including a simple testing procedure. \n\nOtherwise, it sounds like a good idea. Junior Colleges in California accept a GED for entrance. I would suggest, that after finishing the GED, it would be good to check out Junior Colleges in your area. \n\nThe aptitude and desire to study increases with maturity, and often poor high school students do just fine in College.

I am not sure about the website, but i am from ny and as far as I know you can't get your ged at 16 if you quit, you have to wait or take classes.  You might as well stay in school.

The GED was recently revamped about 2 years ago.  I've heard it is more difficult.  Try this website to get a feel for what you're in for.  They offer free classes on line that are designed to help people pass the GED\n\n\nfree-ed.net

I did not graduate high school and years latter went and got my GED. then went on to college. Chose the college you want to attend and they will help you find the grants and fill out the paperwork. I know it is overwhelming for someone who has never done it before and NAU was great in helping me out.

Contact the place/school where you took the test.  They would be able to send a copy of your GED though they might charge for the cost of copying and sending.

I would check with your local community college for opportunities to enroll in a GED program. First things first.

High School take all the after school tutoring they offer, talk to your teachers, your counselors, you might graduate a year later, but it will be worth it. \n\nFrom what I have seen, the GED is actually harder than H.S. alone, I feel only the truly driven obtain their GED's to further there education. It is not a small feat in any respect.
