Not sure how many people have talked about it on here but if you live in Oklahoma and did not complete your high school diploma, you should look into the new Career Readiness Diploma the state has. It's an amazing option for everyone 21+, and I am shocked the state managed to put it together.
The exciting details:
HSE diploma, exactly like the GED/HiSET is
Ability to mix tests together- if you passed the GED Reading and the HiSET math, you can use them both for your diploma.
Your high school credits can ALSO count! You just need a copy of your transcript from Parchment ($15 I believe?)
Haven't heard of anyone trying it just yet, but according to the AEFL programs I've talked to out of date GED test results seem to be valid for this degree. So if you took part of your tests prior to 2014 and come back and finish the rest, you can go through the state of Oklahoma to get your diploma over GED proper.
The big catch is you are required to sign up with a state recognized AEFL program & complete a minimum of 12 study hours with that program. What the programs do varies; some have you study for your tests as the 12 hours, others give you career skill classes, and it's a toss up of online & in person. You'll have to check the approved class by county page to see what options you have, along with giving them a call.
Don't be discouraged if you see the linked page is dead also; a lot of the programs are doing updates to their sites due to this new option so you might need to dig for the info on a couple. There are a couple counties that don't have AEFL programs currently (Mayes & Rogers off the top of my head) so you may need to check the counties around where you live too.
Good luck to everyone that goes this route! I've seen a lot of people graduate this way already and hopefully it works for you as well as it has for them!
