GED® Math book
GED® Math:
Jessica Nelson
"Thanks to Susan Bernard's math books, I was able to complete the GED® program. Math was my worst subject, and now it is a strength. In one year, I have completed four fast track math classes including college algebra and calculus. I owe it all to the skills I learned from these wonderfully helpful books. I highly recommend them to everyone." - Jessica Nelson, GED® Graduate and Business Major at Oklahoma City Community College

GED® Math book
HiSET® Math:
Gary Akins
"I could not have passed my HiSET® test without Susan's math books. They helped me understand everything I was having problems with and made it easy to comprehend how to work all the math problems. I needed a score of 8 to pass, but I scored a 14 out of 20!" - Gary Akins, HiSET® Graduate

You Can Do It!
Meadow Hazelhoff
"When I found out that my original high school hadn’t been properly accredited (thus making my 15-year-old high school diploma invalid) my first thought was, “Sure I can take the GED® test, but how will I pass algebra? I don’t remember any of it!”
I was extremely fortunate to meet Susan Bernard and her amazing series of ‘I’m Not Afraid of Math Anymore!’ books. I really was terrified of math! I’m not sure I would have had the confidence or the competence to have taken the GED® test and passed the math section without her well-written and informative books.
Graduation CapTwo years later in the midst of my academic career I reached out yet again to Ms. Bernard for help in brushing up on those same skills and gaining new ones in order to earn my associate's degree. I’m proud to say that I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts and then Master's in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma. While at OU, I was awarded some of the highest honors including Outstanding Senior in the Professional Programs award in 2015. I also accepted a graduate research assistant position in order to work my way through graduate school.
Had I not met someone who cared about her students’ success and who had developed educational material that matched her excellence in teaching, I wonder if I would have made it past the first weeks of GED® class. Her books made me believe that I could do it, and I did!"

Questions About High School Equivalency Tests

Q: I didn't graduate from high school. What can I do?

A: There are two high school equivalency tests that lead to a high school credential: GED® and HiSET®. Both of these tests are similar, but they have some differences, too.

Q: How can I get information about each of the tests?

A: Each test has a website that is full of information and sample questions:   www.ged.com and www.hiset.org

Q: Which tests can I take in my state?

Some states offer both tests, and some states offer only one. You can go to each test's website to see if it is offered in your state.   www.ged.com and www.hiset.org

Q: How long will it take me to prepare for a high school equivalency test?

A: That all depends on you. Each student has a different amount of previous knowledge and time to devote to studying. However, the lessons in the “I’m Not Afraid ... Anymore!” materials are designed to give you exactly the information and practice that you need to prepare.

Q: Is there any advantage to taking one test over the other test?

A: The GED® test is only available as a computer-based test. The HiSET® test is available as a computer-based test or as a paper and pencil test; however, scoring takes longer for the paper and pencil version.

Q: Are both tests accepted by technology centers and colleges?

A: Yes. Technology centers and colleges are now accepting the diploma or credential that you receive when you pass the HiSET® test in addition to accepting the GED® test. The HiSET® test is also listed on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Q: How do I register for a test?

A: You must register online for all the high school equivalency tests by going to each test's website:   www.ged.com or www.hiset.ets.org.
