Canadian Online GED Prep

Onsego offers Canadian online GED classes. Students from Canada who join Onsego receive the Canadian version of the Social Studies course. The other subjects are the same as in the US GED Test.

Let’s take a look at the GED exam differences and similarities.

GED Testing Service (GEDTS), the official GED® test organization, offers this exam for students worldwide, including in Canada.

Upon successfully passing the 5 subtests in Canada, students get their Canadian High School Equivalency Diploma. This diploma has the same value as a common high school diploma.

Onsego offers GED online classes for the Canadian GED test.

Canadian GED Test vs. US GED Test

The GED exam in Canada and the U.S. are almost the same. The only differences are that the passage examples are related to Canadian History and Government & Civics on the Social Studies subtest. Canadian students who join Onsego receive the Canadian Social Studies prep instead of the US one.

Another minor difference is that the GED in Canada offers Reading and Writing tests separately, while the GED test in the U.S. combines these two subjects into one 150-minute exam. Onsego includes these 2 modules in one Language Arts course.

How Long Is The Canadian GED Exam?

For students that take the exam at a testing facility, the GED exam is administered over two days. Often, the tests are scheduled for a Friday evening and the following Saturday, with short intervals between the five tests. The Canadian GED exam can also be taken in an online proctored format, and then the five sub-exams can be taken one at a time when the student is ready and in any order.

Individual subtest times are as follows:

• Language Arts Writing: Part 1: multiple choice questions, 75 minutes; Part 2: writing, 45 minutes
• Language Arts Reading: multiple choice questions, 65 minutes
• Mathematics: multiple choice questions, 90 minutes
• Social Studies: multiple choice questions, 70 minutes
• Science: multiple choice questions, 80 minutes

GED Canada Facts

• The Canadian GED exam is issued by the same organization that publishes the GED exam in the U.S., GED Testing Service.
• The Canadian GED diploma is equivalent to a common Canadian High School Diploma and is accepted as such by practically all North American employers, institutions of higher education, and government agencies.
• The contents of the Canadian and U.S. GED tests are the same except for the sections that cover History, Government & Civics, and the Canadian GED exam includes five sub-exams, while the U.S. version has four.
• On part 1 of the Canadian GED Math test, you are allowed to use a calculator that will be provided at your test center. In part 2, you cannot use a calculator.
• To pass the Canadian GED exam, you will have to reach at least a scaled score of 450 out of a possible 800 on each of the five GED subtests. So an overall score of 2250 is the minimum requirement, and averaging is not possible.

Minimum Age GED Requirements In Canada

• In Quebec, you must be 16 years old and provide additional documentation in order to take the GED test.
• In Alberta and Yukon Territory, you can take the GED test if you are 17 years old.

In Canada, online GED testing is not available right now. When you register on the GED.com website, you will get the possibility to choose one of the official testing centers near you. If the closest testing center is in a different province, you need to check the residency requirement for the province that you’re interested in testing in. Some provinces allow people who don’t live there to take the GED test, and others don’t.

There is no doubt that getting the GED diploma is beneficial, and the GED test is not difficult at all if you are well-prepared. With our online GED classes, you can get ready for the GED exam in a few short weeks. Give it a try.

To summarize, you may very well use Onsego to get all set for the GED exam in Canada.
