A high school diploma is about more than just improving your job opportunities. In reality, even if you get that dream job, without the proper education, you could find yourself overwhelmed and unable to perform your basic tasks. Some people may not have the ability, time, or chance to complete high school. For those people, the GED is a good second best.

Though the GED exam is not offered online, there are thousands of testing centers in the United States and abroad. The GED Testing Service's website (www.GEDTestingService.com) provides a locator to find your most convenient testing center.

And while the exam itself is not available online, you can prepare for it on the Web. The GED Testing Service offers a Marketplace with a variety of online study aides. You'll also find practice exams on the site as well that will help familiarize you with the new computer-based GED exam. You may also find online study programs through your local community college or adult education center.
