GED (General Educational Development)

The GED® is a fast, flexible path to a globally recognised American high school equivalency credential.

For students who need an alternative to a traditional high school diploma — whether due to a non-linear academic path, a school transfer, or wanting to accelerate toward university — the GED offers a faster route to a credential recognised by US colleges and many international institutions.

Max Academia provides focused 1-on-1 preparation across all four GED subject tests, helping students build the specific skills and pacing needed to pass each section efficiently and move confidently to their next academic step.

What this course covers:

  • All 4 GED subject tests: Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies
  • Diagnostic assessment to focus study time on each student’s weakest areas
  • Test-taking strategy and time management for the computer-based exam format
  • Guidance on using GED results for university applications and next steps

What to Expect

Format: 1-on-1 sessions, onsite at our Bangkok centre (Evergreen Place Tower, 6th Fl.) or online.

How we start: We assess a student’s current level across each of the four GED subject areas first, so preparation time is spent on the specific gaps rather than repeating material they’ve already mastered.

Practice tests: Lessons include timed practice with GED-style questions, so students are comfortable with the test format as well as the content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the GED different from finishing a traditional high school diploma?
A: The GED is a faster, exam-based pathway to an equivalent credential, rather than a multi-year school programme — it suits students who want to move on to the next stage sooner, or whose circumstances don’t fit a traditional school timeline.

Q: Is the GED recognised by universities?
A: It’s a recognised US high-school-equivalent credential, but recognition requirements vary by university and country — we’d recommend checking directly with any specific university your child is targeting.

Q: How long does GED preparation usually take?
A: It depends on the student’s starting level across each subject area — we can give a clearer estimate after an initial assessment.

Q: Can GED prep be combined with other coursework?
A: Yes, many students prepare for the GED alongside other tutoring or independent study — we can build a schedule around your child’s other commitments.
