The purpose of the General Educational Development (GED) test in adult education is to provide individuals who did not complete their high school education with an opportunity to earn a high school equivalency credential. The GED test assesses knowledge and skills in subjects like language arts, mathematics, science, civics (Wisconsin) and social studies. By passing the GED test, individuals can demonstrate their proficiency in these areas and improve their chances of pursuing higher education or securing employment opportunities that require a high school diploma. The GED test plays a crucial role in promoting adult education and providing individuals with a second chance to obtain a recognized educational credential.
The GED test differs from traditional high school education in several ways. Firstly, the GED is an exam that assesses an individual's knowledge and skills across multiple subjects, including language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. In contrast, traditional high school education involves a structured curriculum with classes and assignments over a four-year period. Additionally, the GED test is designed for individuals who did not complete high school, allowing them to earn an equivalent credential. Traditional high school education, on the other hand, leads to a high school diploma. Overall, the GED test provides an opportunity for individuals to demonstrate their knowledge and skills outside of the traditional high school setting.

Adults preparing for the GED test, especially those who have been out of school for a long time, have access to various resources and support. Adult education centers and community colleges often offer GED preparation classes, providing structured instruction and study materials. Online resources, such as practice tests, study guides, and video tutorials, are also widely available. Additionally, there are GED preparation books and study guides specifically designed for adults. Many communities have adult education programs that offer one-on-one tutoring or group study sessions. Furthermore, some organizations provide financial assistance to cover the cost of GED testing for those who qualify.
