2020-21 School Year
Please check back in July for updates about registering for this distance learning program!
The High School Equivalency Test Preparation Program provides students with continuous test preparation and assessment to help successfully pass GED® and HiSET® equivalency tests. Upon successfully passing the GED® or HiSET® tests, students will receive a credential from the State of California. Classes are offered through distance learning (at-home study) using online curriculum. Students are expected to study a minimum of 8 hours each week and will receive regular support and guidance from their instructor through email, video and phone chat.
High School Equivalency or High School Diploma?
GED® and HiSET® test high school knowledge of reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The tests are timed, and they are aligned to Common Core State Standards. Please contact the EGACE Academic Resource and Transitions Office at 916-793-2344 if you would like more information about the differences between earning your high school equivalency credential or completing your high school diploma credits.
