You can qualify for more jobs once you have a high school equivalency credential (After passing the GED Tests) so that should make it easier!

so the diploma some states give out is pretty much pointless if they have to use the GED transcripts to get a job? im a highschool drop out and i dont need a GED i need a highschool diploma is there anything i can even do?

[GEDTestingService]

@crusader1614 This depends on the state. All states give out a diploma of some sort (different names in diff states) but this credential awarded because you passed the GED Tests is considered equivalent to a HS diploma by 98% colleges and about 96% employers. Basically, the GED Test is the best, most recognized option for finishing HS in the U.S.

Err. This really isn't a question related to Taking the GED in particular, but rather, getting the results.

I took my test on, April 7th of this year. It is now June 15th, and I still have not received them. I fear they may be in the undeliverable box.

Who should I call?

@GangstaLink You should contact the testing center where you took the test to ask about transcripts.

can i skip parts of the test if i have those high school credits?

i passed all my math and science and i really dont want to retake them

[GEDTestingService]

@xXAidenxGoesxrawRxX You have to pass all the parts of the GED Test in order to earn a GED credential. Unfortunately, you can't combine high school credits with GED Test scores.
