DID YOU KNOW?
🎓 In Florida, when you pass the GED® you earn a State of FL high school diploma.
🎓 There are 4 GED® subject area tests: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reasoning Through Language Arts.
🎓 You can take the 4 GED® tests separately—you don’t have to take them all at once!
🎓 You can retake a test if you don’t pass it the first time.
🎓Even if you were never a “straight-A” student, you can pass the GED® tests — motivation, preparation, effort, and persistence matter!
🎓 Earning your GED® can help you qualify for college, career training, and better job opportunities.
🎓 It’s never too late to earn your high school diploma and start a new chapter!
✨BONUS! West Area Adult School students who earn their GEDs from now through mid-May will be invited to participate in our spring graduation ceremony!✨
