GED Classes Tampa, Florida

Last Updated on April 10, 2024.

Posted in this article are all GED prep class locations and testing centers in the Tampa region. Florida uses the GED for its high school equivalency testing program.

GED testing is available at certified testing facilities and online. Florida has, however, suspended the online GED® test on Jan. 10, 2024. To learn more about online GED testing, check below.

The exam offers adults who did not graduate high school the chance to acquire an equivalent education degree.

For preparation, you may register with one of the prep sites listed below or sign up for a good, accredited online program. In that case, we advise you to register with Onsego GED Prep, a program that’s recognized as “100% aligned with the GED exam” by GED Testing Service.

This website publishes free online GED classes based on Onsego’s comprehensive GED program to help you determine if an online course might work for you.

The GED (General Education Development) exam has four subtests that measure a test-taker’s knowledge of these subjects:

• Math
• Science
• Language
• Social Studies

The four GED subtests are fully computer-based, and you have the option to take one subtest at a time.

The Online GED Test

To take the Florida GED exam, there never had been an option over the Internet. That is, until recently! To secure your Florida GED degree, you needed to come to an official state-approved GED testing site and pass the four GED subtests.

Well, the introduction of a new, online, proctored GED testing possibility has changed all of that. Visit ‘The online GED exam’ to learn all about this option. Be aware, though, that on January 10, 2024, Florida suspended the online version of the GED exam.
