GED Classes Ocala, Florida

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

Listed here are all GED prep classes and testing facilities in the Ocala area. Florida has welcomed the computer-formatted GED exam for its high school equivalency testing program.

The GED exam is given at certified GED testing centers and online, though Florida suspended the online GED exam on January 10, 2024. Check below to read more about the online GED test.

The GED® program is geared towards adults who were not in a position to finish their high school education.

This way, they can get hold of a credential that’s, across America, accepted just like a common high school diploma by employers and schools.

The GED exam includes four modular subtests that measure a test-taker’s proficiency in these subjects:

• Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social Studies

These modules may be completed separately and in any order.

Welcoming the Online GED Test

There had never been, until recently, an online option to take the GED exam. To acquire your GED diploma, you had to come to one of Florida’s state-designated testing sites and sit for the four GED modules in person.

But now, with the introduction of a new, online, proctored GED test, that has changed. An online proctor will be guiding you through the entire online test-taking process. On January 10, 2024, however, Florida suspended the online version of the GED test. To learn more, visit ‘The online GED exam introduced.’
