Can I get a G.E.D if I am still currently enrolled in high school?

Question

(if you know) please add why or why not to further my understanding.

Answer 1

Hi. A G.E.D. is an equivalent to a high school diploma. Before you can register to take the five tests for G.E.D., you are required to present a letter from your high school's principal stating that you are no longer enrolled. The G.E.D. tests are difficult and, if at all possible, I encourage you to stay in high school or look into an alternative high school.

Best wishes.

Answer 2

GED is designed to help students who dropped out of high school and are now too old (adult) to go back. In most states there is a limit to the age you can attend school. In many states - high school grads are about 18. If you are older than that - you would have to seek your high school diploma in an adult school environment/GED. Whatever the case may be - Please do go forward with obtaining your GED - and then move on to college - technical, industrial, business - something that you like. The world in which we live is not as forgiving as you'd like to think. If you don't have that degree - you are limiting the amount of money you can LEGALLY make.

If you are already in school - why are you even thinking and considering earning a GED. Don't you dare think about quitting school........You can't take GED classes AND enroll in high school. That's not what the program is designed for.

Keep your head up...

Answer 3

Yes all you have to do is study and pay for the test. I would not replace a G.E.D. with a high school diploma though. I would suggest taking classes at a community college to advance your education and possibly transfer those classes to your high school. I did that when I went to high school.
