High School Equivalence Preparation

IU5 Adult Education and Career Readiness can help you earn your high school diploma by preparing you to take either the GED® or HiSet® exam. Passing either of these tests in Pennsylvania will earn you a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma (which is 100% real and is exactly the same as a normal high school diploma). You'll receive help to prepare for the four exam subject areas: Language Arts (Reading/Writing), Math, Science, and Social Studies. You'll also learn test-taking tips and strategies.  As an added bonus, if you meet certain attendance and testing requirements, you may be eligible for a scholarship to take your exams for free!  Go to www.iu5.org, Community Services, Adult Education, Classes & Programs, High School Equivalency Exam Preparation (or http://www.iu5.org/community-services/high-school-equivalency-exam-preparation).
