Part 1: Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts: Reading, and Laniage Arts: Writing.\n\nPart 2: 410 is minimum (I suggest a 450 in each) in your subject category and 2250 in the overall category.\n\nPart 3: Varies to state to state. Montgomery, Alabama offers your test of 50 dollars and 10 dollars per subject to retake.\n\nPart 4: 9 hours for your first time taking it and varies on the retake.

That depends on whether or not you graduated high school, or if you have a GED.  The Army will take high school grads with a minimum score of 28, sometimes.  You can safely say that the minimum for the Army, USMC, and USN is 31 and the USAF is 40 (as of 2000).  Please note that these score requirements are subject to change, and may have since I was a recruiter.\n\nThat, however, doesn't tell you what job you qualify for.  The main score on the ASVAB is known as the General Technical (GT) score.  That's the overall score of your test, and focuses on math and English.  Within the test, there are a variety of sections that test your vocational knowledge and learn-ability.  The Army breaks these down into 10 different sections, the Air Force into 4 sections, and I don't know what the USN and USMC break it down into.  It's THESE sections that determine what jobs you qualify for.  These test scores show your knowledge and trainability.  \n\nHope this helps.

Its not better, and typically it shouldn't be considered less than a diploma when it comes to jobs.  If I were you, I would brush up on my spelling and grammar.  \n\nYou can get books that help you study at Barnes and Noble, also online there are sample tests.  \n\nIt would probably be more reliable to go to an actual facility and take the GED for around $40.  Google it. \n\n:)

I would say it would be easier to just sign up and take the ged in your area.  if you're worried you won't remember all the math and stuff you need to know, then your local bookstore should have a ged prep book.  that way you can brush up without having to actually go to the ged classes.  i'm not sure how the at home high school diplomas work, but each state has different requirements for high school graduation so i wouldn't trust it.  if you are thinking of going onto a community or technical college neither one would give you an advantage over another and at a 4 yr school the ged might actually help you qualify for more schloarships for "non traditional" students.  good luck

Call your local school district.  Each district offers GED classes (some classes are even independent study--study at your own pace).  \n\nIf your local school district does not offer GED classes, contact your local Intermediate Unit (ask your local school district which one they belong to.  All school districts belong to an intermediate unit.).  They should be able to direct you to the right path.\n\nBest of Luck!

The Educational Testing Service administers both those test, and you can get a score report sent to your college for $15.  In fact, most colleges require that you send in your scores through ETS.  That way, no funny business.

It depends on where you live.\n\nIn my home state, there are two sections: written and picture.\nThe written portion is multiple choice and it is difficult if you don't do well on multiple choice tests. A lot of the questions are worded the same, etc. The picture portion is just "Identify The Sign" which is very easy and requires only common sense in my opinion.\n\nThere is also a vision screening to make sure that you aren't legally blind.\n\nIt varies though, so just ask around. I'm sure someone you know has taken the test and can tell you what to expect.

About 15 years ago, I needed to very quickly brush up on my math skills for a job interview.  In High School, I always did fine in math class, but I realized I had forgotten a lot.  I bought a book (yellow cover) for people getting their GED.  No joke.  The book was so simple and concise, that in about 2 days, I had completely reviewed all the High School math.  It was that easy.\n(P.S.  After taking the math test, the job interviewer remarked, "We're really not supposed to tell you your exact results, but I have to say that in all the years I've been administering this test, no one has ever scored this high!"\n\n.... all that, for just a couple day's review... with a GED book.

I quit school after 10th grade to join the service, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I went back and got my college degree so GED was moot. But if you read the GED certificate it states right on it that it is NOT equivalent to a diploma. Besides it has been shown that someone with a GED will earn about 10 to 20K per year less than someone with a diploma. So if you want a DECENT job with GOOD pay get the diploma. All a GED does is say that you passed a test and just know the basics. I know most places say they will accept a GED but you won't get the pay as someone with a diploma. \nIf you say you want to do it so you can support yourself and kids, I think if you have kids the TIME HAS ARISEN. You should have done it long before you had kids. Look at it this way, go back and get the diploma so that you will be able to help your kids. If you don't know how to do something how do you expect to help and teach them.\nPlus think how proud you will be that you went the harder way than a shortcut for just a certificate. \n\n\nI KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. \n\nOh! By the way my wife had to quit school also because we got married and she was pregnant, but she went back and got her diploma instead of the GED.

I have a GED, I did not complete high school for reasons that are not important.  My GED has allowed me to attain employment as well as a person wh graduated high school......my life would be much worse without it.

The costs you refer to are for a course and not for the test itself which is nominal. If you know the material, you might try simply purchasing a review book at your local book store ( or borrowing from the library).\n\nIf you need a course (particularly in an immigrabt community) they may be offered by local community groups or religious groups. no fee courses may also be offered at adult or continuing education centers at local high schools or similar. Try searching for YOUR state and GED on google
