GED (General Educational Development)

About this Course

Introduction:

GED stands for the General Educational Development Certificate, which serves as an equivalency to a high
school diploma. The General Educational Development (GED) test is a standardized test in the United
States designed for individuals who did not complete high school. Originating in 1942 to assist returning
World War II soldiers, the GED now helps anyone without a high school diploma to earn credentials for career
advancement or further education.
The international credential being awarded in Pakistan or anywhere outside the USA is called the District of
Columbia High School Equivalency Diploma.
Accepted nationwide, the GED test takes about seven hours, and a total of 10-12 weeks to prepare and
is known for its accessibility and high success rate. Most US colleges and universities recognize GED
certification, which has benefited over 20 million people. The test boasts a lower ratio of jobless people, a
college admission rate of 60%, and general acceptance by workplaces and higher education at a rate of
97%.
The GED test not only matches closely with the curriculum you would find in average high school courses but
tries to prepare its takers for the real-world academic exposure commonly found in university environments
and beyond. Every question you encounter will have some relevance to either academics or the working
world. Make sure you work through plenty of GED practice test questions to get ready for the exam.

The Growing Demand for GED:

The General Educational Development (GED) certification is gaining popularity globally, offering a pathway
to individuals without a traditional high school diploma. Over 20 million people have earned the GED
credential since its inception, with thousands of universities and employers worldwide recognizing it as an
equivalent to a high school diploma. The demand is particularly high in countries focused on providing
alternative educational routes, allowing adults to re-enter education or access better employment
opportunities.
In Pakistan, awareness and demand for GED have steadily increased. Many students pursue it as a viable
option to meet foreign university entry requirements, especially in the absence of A-levels or other traditional
qualifications. The rise of international education programs and the expansion of distance learning have further
contributed to its growth. Additionally, GED's flexibility, offering online preparation and testing through partners
like Pearson VUE, has made it accessible for individuals across the country.
This surge aligns with a broader trend as universities globally, including in the U.S. and other countries,
increasingly accept the GED for admission, recognizing its role in broadening access to higher education.

Why GED:

In this day and age, not only is a high school diploma or HSE credential desirable for finding a job, but it has
become virtually essential. The same goes for furthering one’s education. Without a diploma or GED certificate,
it is quite challenging to find a decent job, and furthering one’s education is impossible. For those who didn’t
finish high school, or are too old to attend, obtaining one’s GED has several vital outcomes. 

  • Reasons for obtaining one’s GED aren’t solely limited to getting a job or attending college or trade
    school.
  • Having a GED can improve options for obtaining a job, it may also improve one’s chances for a
    raise, promotion, or better job down the line.
  • Another reason to earn one’s GED is to instil a sense of accomplishment and pride. Improving
    oneself—whether through education or other avenues—increases self-confidence and self-esteem. It
    can also serve as a strong reminder that one can achieve his/her goals, whatever they may be.
  • Obtaining one’s GED can also set a good example if one is a parent. Of course, all parents want their
    children to do well in school and succeed in life, and being a good role model and showing them the
    importance of education can go a long way.

seeking admission to international universities without the traditional A-level or Intermediate (FA/FSC)
credentials.
