High
School Diploma


High School Diplomas are generally considered more desirable for one
entering the work force or hoping to pursue a higher education. About.com
notes that employees with diplomas generally earn significantly more than
those without. Students who hope to advance may be required to pursue
additional training. Similarly, most students admitted to college have earned
their high school diploma, although this does not guarantee acceptance.
Coursework, grade point average and extracurricular activities will be
important factors during the admissions process.


GED

Only students who are neither enrolled in nor have completed high school
are permitted to take the GED exams. One must
also be over the age of 18 and meet other state requirements. The
GED certificate is awarded to anyone who passes a
series of tests in five academic subjects, scoring higher than 60% of a
sample set of graduating seniors. Because one will be tested on a few years
worth of knowledge in just one short day, students often spend a great deal
of time studying. Many need to take preparation courses, but no courses of
any sort are mandatory.

As mentioned above, the GED is often considered less desirable for those
hoping to attend college. About.com notes that while the majority of
employers hiring for entry-level positions consider GED
certificates
as comparable to actual diplomas, some may consider
the GED to be inferior. If a student continues on to college, however, one
typically does not consider which one has earned. On this note, most
community colleges admit students who have earned a GED, but individual
universities set their own policies. Some do not view GEDs as equivalent to Diplomas,
particularly if these colleges require specialized courses of study for
admission.

welcome to such sonyahall. here are a few things you might want to know:

(i) we are an un-moderated discussion board. although we have an administrator, he rarely logs in unless there is an emergency. this manner of running this board is by popular consensus.

(ii) you might want to set your online status to "hidden." right now your status is not set to "hidden" and members can see when you logged in last. if you want to hide it (the choice is yours), go to profile (a tab on top of the page) --> preferences --> click "yes" to "hide my online staus"

with warm regards,
team such
