NONE! There use to be schools that would give credit for these exam, however, most of those schools held no national or regional accreditation standards.
The GED is like a step lower then a HS diploma. The best thing to do is if you are young enough go back to school. If regular school is NOT your bag then find an alternative school. If you are to old to go back to high school contact your local community college to see if they can test you to see if you need remedial coursework before starting you college career.
Most community college will take students without HS diploma if they can prove they are ready to handle the work also called the "ability to benefit" aspect of the Carl Perkins Legislation.
Best of luck

I was 16 and High School just wasn't for me. I dropped out, got my GED, and went straight to college, at 16. I received my associates degree 2 weeks before my classmates graduated high school. Not from a state or community college either. A nationally known University. I worked as a Teacher's Aide for the next 2 years while working on my Bachelors of Science in Education. Finished before my former classmates b/c I took summer semester. Now, I'm working on my Masters while my former classmates are just now getting Bachelor's.
Don't let those 3 letters get you down or hold you back in anyway. You can still be anything you want.
May I warn you though... if you didn't want to buckle down and study in HS, it's definitely not easier in college!!!
Good Luck!!

lol, No. And btw, there is this element referred to as the army recruiting website, durr. Edit: Bighead is thoroughly incorrect. you would be unable to connect until eventually you have a HS degree or GED. And with a GED you prefer a minimum of 15 college credit.

It would appear to me you truly rob yourself of any real credits. I say that because you will have no class ranking void of graduating with a class. Though you'll receive a score on the test used to grant the G.E.D., I've come to find a score in one state won't qualify you but it will in another, so you decide the meaningfulness.
May I suggest something?
If no, stop reading now...
If it's not too late, make up your mind to knuckle down, apply yourself to learning, get that free education which will help you learn to think. Graduate at as high a ranking in the Graduating Class as you can and show yourself and the world you have what it takes to complete what you start regardless of the obstacles you encounter.
