GED Classes Manhattan, New York City

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

This page lists all GED prep sites and testing centers in Manhattan, New York City. New York State uses the GED test for the purpose of high school equivalency testing.

The GED test gives people who haven’t graduated from high school one more shot at securing an equivalent diploma.

Best GED Classes’ free online GED classes and practice tests let you determine if online studying fits you well, but they cover only a limited portion of all GED subjects.

If online learning is a good option for you, we suggest you register with Onsego GED Online Prep an accredited, full-scope program that helps you earn your GED fast.

In recent years, the state has used the TASC exam, but that program has not been continued. Your TASC results also count for the GED® exam. That’s good news, right?

The GED program Manhattan measures proficiency at a level similar to what high school students are expected to master when they graduate. To determine your knowledge level, you are welcome to use this website’s free GED practice tests, generously provided by Onsego GED Prep.

There are four separate and independent GED sub-exams that cover these academic subject fields:

• Language Arts (reading and writing in one sub-exam)
• Social Studies
• Math
• Science

There’s no need to sit for the entire GED battery in one take. If you wish, you can take the four modules one (or more) at a time.

In New York State, the GED exam is available only at official GED testing centers. Online testing is not available in the state. So, if you’re looking for a GED school near me in Manhattan, this page lists them all.

You can go to “The New York GED Test,” if you want to learn about eligibility criteria in new York, passing scores, and more.
