Homeschoolers taking the GED test?

Question

I have always thought of the GED as a degrading thing, but now I see it as an option to help myself. I became homeschooled in NC at the end of 10th grade, and now I am 17 and live in NM with my fiance. I was wondering if the GED would get me into state school, and how hard is the test itself? I am very strong in all subjects, but I still worry. Thanks!

Answer 1

You should compile a homeschool transcript showing what you studied, and also study to take the ACT and or SAT, many, many, homeschoolers attend universities without the GED or accredited  diplomas.  I would apply that way first, then if they ask for a GED, you will be well prepared to take it anyway, since the ACT and the SAT tests are much more difficult and you will have studied for them.

Answer 2

yea but you have more chance going to a junior college or a community college of some sort

Answer 3

You'd be better off doing the ACTs or SATs. Check into whatever post-secondary you're looking at and find out their requirements. Also, check into state laws and find out if your parents can issue you a diploma.
