In what country do you earn a "o level"?  I'm afraid your question doesn't explain enough.

The American High School Diploma is NOT normally sufficient as an entry qualification to LSE, however "outstanding applicants" offering this qualification may be invited to take the LSE Entrance Exam (see below). Applicants offering the Advanced Placement (A.P. classes if they have that in your state) level should offer at least two (but preferably three or four) suitable (relevant) subjects with grades of A's or B's. Alternatively, applicants offering the first year of an undergraduate degree from a US university would be eligible to apply and the School (i.e. School of Economics, Anthropoly, Law, etc) would require an overall GPA of 3 to 3.5 or B/B+.\n\nMore conditions may apply, i.e. passing and scoring highly on the entrance exam.

Just a high school diploma should do it.

As far as I know, they have a very specific school to help teens under 18 to get a high school diploma. It's called...\n\nHigh School!

Nope. You only get a "high school" diploma from a high school. You can get a GED on your own.

It depends on what you need it for. For admittance to the University System in Germany, this is true. Not even some years at a US college are enough. You have to go through the certification process of the particular region for this. \nIt is true, that the US diploma from high school is not the same because Germany has several systems for public education. \n\nI have never heard of people having to go 'back to school' but I have heard of people having to take qualifying examinations for University admissions.\nSee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_school_system

A high school diploma states that you were able to make it through four years of high school and pass. A ged says you have high school level knowledge, however you werent able to attend school and or pass.\n\nAs long as you go to college you shouldnt have to worry.

Um, if you're doing homeschool, then you are the one who better be good...lol, especially at the high school level. Do you mean a private school?\n\nIf you're home schooling, especially at the high school level, you must contact your state's Department of Education regarding whether they will honor the work done at home toward a high school diploma. Most of the time...not. Your child will be looking at a GED instead. Use the site below...there's a list of state DOE's there. Then find a parent homeschool network for your state or city. You can Google to find them. Enter your city name, and "homeschool parent". \n\nhttp://www.spedusource.org/\n\nGood luck!

you might want to refine your question a bit...are you asking if there is such a thing, or are you asking if they are a good idea?  There are such things, i imagine, since there are online college diplomas, but as far as getting one, you might be better off with a more traditional route..if not highschool, then maybe night classes...there is more to be learned than just what is in the books.

A diploma shows you have deadication and patance.  and it is much harder to get a deploma than pass the GED.  Just Passing the equivalent as a high F in high school.

A levels american school to enter a university in America will give you a better chance of acceptance.  You also may need to take the S.A.T.  this is required of most of all High School students.  The rules may differ for those in the United Kingdom, that is a British school, but I do not believe their is a British School available in the United States, and perhaps that's why hardly anyone's ever heard of IB diplomas.  Around here we call them High School diplomas, but the IB diploma will help you enter Oxford, just not Yale.  Yale is an Ivy League College in the United States.  I'm not looking to get the ten points, but A levels that is American schooling will help you get a better chance of getting into a University.  I have two college degrees, so I know what I had to do to get accepted to a major Univeristy so I can earn these.  America is not just the best in the world when it comes to higher education, but it seems to be the only logical choice to make because other areas just aren't as accepting.  Then again, an IB diploma might only help you get acceptance to a British University.  But a High School A level diploma will actually get you to land your feet in a greater institution for higher education.

Accredition, government certified, credential that can be transfer to regular school.\n\nThere are some bogus online school, there are some diploma mills, and there are some that are legitimate.\n\nCheck with the department of education or local government, check for school accredition, if they are recognize by states or by government. Check if you credit or diploma is rcognize and accepted by company that hires people. Check if they have reference of student graduates workings.

In most cases your local community college will be able to answer that question.  The reason for this is that every state has it's own guidelines to be certified.

Of course, the same way that an English degree is recognised in the USA.  Vocational qualifications may require that you take some kind of test in order to be sure that your knowledge is the same.  Law obviously is an entirely different matter as the UK and USA have different laws.

There are limited slots available for GED holders, and they must score higher on the ASVAB than a regular High school graduate( and no, a GED is NOT equivalent in the eyes of the military) but it can be done.  Additionally, adding 15 100 level or above college credits to that GED will be equivalent to a HS diploma in the eyes of the military, opening up many more opportunties.  That's one semester at your local community college.

Mine is kind of a "different" sort of case.\n\nI have a G.E.D. because of this, rather than a standard high school diploma. \n\nI started university coursework at the age of 14, in language arts, history, music, and eventually sciences. The high school transferred credits onto my transcript there, too. I continued with math and some electives at the high school, for another 2 years, but then went to full-time college attendance. At that point, 21 high school credits were needed for a diploma, and I had 25. However, somehow they found me short 1/2 credit, in world literature/12th grade grammar. They also refused to accept ANY of the university's freshman or sophomore world lit classes as concurrent credit, because "none of them matched the high school 12th grade curriculum requirements." They wanted me to RETURN to the high school and sit through a semester of 12th grade language arts, when I was earning A's in English at the college level. I told them where they could stick their diploma.\n\nI took a year off of my studies when I was 17 years old (in 1986), to work at a bank. For the bank's paperwork, they needed me to have something like a high school diploma from me, so they had me take the G.E.D., paying the testing fees, etc. \n\nBecause of several other components to my experience (which I didn't go into here because the whole soap opera would take a book...) I am a strong advocate for the "standard" gifted education policy being enrichment and curriculum acceleration/compression within the chronological grade level, rather than acceleration of the student to sit with older students (which should only happen, if absolutely needed, after careful consideration of the student's emotional and social development).
