GED Classes Allentown, Pennsylvania

Last Updated on April 23, 2024.

This page contains a full listing of GED prep class locations and testing sites in the Allentown region. Pennsylvania welcomed the fully computerized GED for its high school equivalency testing program.

Additionally, the state welcomed the HiSET exam, which is available both on a computer and in a paper-based format.

The HiSET® and GED® exams can be taken online and at state-certified test centers.

Pennsylvania’s program is for adults who left high school without a diploma and gives them a chance to earn an equivalent degree.

Both exams measure knowledge at a level that compares to that of graduating high school seniors.

GED testing is done via four independent modules (subtests) that assess proficiency in these academic subject fields:

• Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social Studies

The HiSET has five modular subtests, as the Literacy Section comes with independent writing and reading tests.

Until recently, online GED or HiSET testing was not possible. You were required to come in person to an official state-approved testing site.

That has changed now with the introduction of online proctored HiSET and GED testing options. Read more below.

More information about Pennsylvania qualification criteria, testing fees, or GED scoring, can be found here: The Pennsylvania GED Test.

Online GED and HiSET Testing

Pennsylvania awards the Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma (CSSD) to students who successfully take the HiSET or GED high school equivalency exam. Both tests had to be taken in person at one of Pennsylvania’s official testing centers, but that’s changed.
