GED Courses in New Jersey

The General Educational Development test (GED) is a test non-high school graduates can take to receive a state-issued high school diploma. The GED test measures the skills and concepts covered in a typical four-year high school program, including writing skills, social studies, science, literature and mathematics. When a student passes the GED, the New Jersey State Department of Education will issue the student a high school diploma. New Jersey has several community colleges that offer courses to prepare for the GED test.
