About this organization

The Adult Basic Education program (ABE) and the General Educational Development (GED) testing program are two options for adults wanting a high school diploma. However, the two programs are very different.

The GED is a series of standardized tests designed to measure general knowledge, ideas, and thinking skills normally acquired through three years of high school; but which can be acquired through experience.

The major difference between ABE and GED is that ABE prepares you academically for future training. GED does not.
