do you believe that taking the G.E.D test is easy  vs. an high school education?

Shortterm yes, but in the long term it's bad if you don't go to college.

Yep. I went to high school in Texas. I graduated last year. We had to take health class and had to learn CPR to pass the class. It's really not that hard.

Academically, college is not much harder than high school, and the social atmosphere is usually more casual. The main difference is that you MUST use self discipline to get your work accomplished. There are no teachers looking over your shoulder--the responsibility of meeting the expectations of your classes is yours alone. Informal figures say that up to 25% of any freshman class will be in danger of flunking out within the first quarter. That is not because the curriculum is significantly more difficult, instead, it is because students have a hard time concentrating on studies when there is no monitor on when and how hard they will study. The personal freedom to choose your actions (and not having Mom riding you to get your homework done) can be a challenge!

You can get a G.E.D. with an 8th-grade education - it doesn't mean nearly as much as a real diploma...

Yes, I have taken the GED test. It was back in 1992. I would say the math was the hardest part, there's no doubt about it. I wish you the best of luck with it. I just barely passed it myself.

All depends on the student.  My advise, don't take the easiest for you.  School is for learning, knowledge is power.  Take something that will challenge you.

For MOST people the answer is YES. However, you can take the GED test and pass it, and that will count. If you have a reasonable educational background: you can read English at the 8th or higher grade level, write a basic paragraph, know punctuation and capitalization, spell most high-frequency words well, perform basic math calculations, fractions, decimals, basic algebra, calculate area and perimeter, measure using US standard measures, identify and define basic science concepts, and know basic high points in US history, you'll pass.\n\nHowever, if you are under the age of 18, and are currently in an advanced placement or enrichment program in the public schools, you can start taking college courses long before you get any high school diploma. I ended up with a GED for employment purposes, as I never graduated from high school...I started college at age 14.

In my opinion college is much better than high school.  I found high school restricting and ridiculous all around.  In list form I'll give my reasons why college is much better than high school: You can choose your classes (more options than high school) and what time you want to take them.  If you don't feel like going to class, you can make that decision to stay home knowing that you may pay for it later. You feel more like an adult.  You're living on your own (or at least in my case).  You meet new people, and probably people who are in your area of interest.  College is the pathway between being a child and an adult.  You're still young, but you most likely don't pay your taxes and it's ok to have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  College is the best thing that has happened to me.  :)

I don't think one is easier or harder than the other - just different.  Education in Canada is different from province to province just as in the US it varies from state to state.

it all depends on how smart you are.  I do recomend going to classes that are offered,   just as a memory refresher.   Failing a ged test without studying can be a little embarassing.

High school is fine. The work maybe hard and long but it's fine. Nothing big compared to what will be coming ahead after high school.

Congrats on making it this far!  I'm 21, and I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of my life.  For now I'm taking the gen. ed. courses (the basic courses required for any degree) at a community college and trying to get some sort of administrative certification so I can make a little more money while I figure it out.  But life after high school is a LOT less stressful, especially if you DONT procrastinate.  Good luck!

Home schooled students do not, in most states, receive a "high school diploma" from any state agency.  That does not, however, negate the validity of the coursework they completed during their home studies.\n\nHome schooled students should NOT be required to take a GED.  Neither should students from unaccredited private schools.  These students should be required, however, to provide documentation (either a personal portfolio or a transcript)  to  the college they wish to enter that they have met the minimum entrance requirements.  Also, these students should also have to take the same entrance and placement exams as  students from public high schools and accredited private high schools.
