GED Classes Durango, Colorado

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

On this page, we list all GED class locations and testing centers in the greater Durango area. Colorado is offering the computerized GED exam for its High School Equivalency (HSE) testing program.

The state additionally embraced the HiSET exam for this purpose.

Test-takers can sit for the GED® and HiSET® exams online or at state-designated testing centers. Read more below about online testing.

The exams offer individuals who quit high school prematurely the opportunity to earn an equivalent degree. The GED is a fully computerized exam, whereas the HiSET is offered both on paper and on a computer.

Both exams assess an applicant’s knowledge at a level that compares to what high school students must command at graduation.

The GED exam includes four modular subtests that measure a student’s knowledge in these subjects:

• Math
• Language
• Science
• Social Studies

These sub-exams can be written independently and in any order.

The HiSET exam has separate Reading and Writing tests, so five in total, that are also offered individually if you wish.

Online HiSET and GED Testing

Candidates for the Colorado HSE (High School Equivalency) diploma can take the GED and HiSET exams online as well. To take the GED or HiSET exam, it used to be that personal appearance at a test center was required. Well, that’s something of the past.

Today, both the GED and HiSET exams are also offered online with the help of an online proctor. Read more about this interesting development in these posts: online GED testing and for the HiSET, go to online HiSET testing.
