This web site is intended to provide or direct you to information regarding the GED testing service in Nova Scotia.
The General Educational Development (GED) is an international high school equivalency testing program for adults. The GED is composed of a series of five tests that evaluates participants’ skills and knowledge in the following subject areas :
- Language Arts, Reading
- Language Arts, Writing
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
The GED tests are designed to measure the skills
that correspond to those of recent high school graduates. The tests
involve the ability to understand and apply information; to evaluate,
analyze, and draw conclusions; and to express ideas and opinions in
writing. Adults who pass the five tests receive a Nova Scotia High
School Equivalency certificate of Grade 12.
Many adults who did not graduate from high school have acquired skills through work, community, family and study experiences, at or above a secondary school level. The GED allows these adults to demonstrate academic abilities that are equivalent to those of high school graduates.
