GED "Certificate of General Educational Development"
Although eTAP does not grant High School diplomas, you can qualify for college admission by taking the GED, or General Educational Development Test. This is a test that certifies the taker has attained high school level academic skills. For most purposes, a GED is considered to be equivalent to a high school diploma.

Approximately 95% of colleges will accept GED graduates, though they will typically require them to take the SAT and/or ACT. If a four-year college will not accept a GED graduate, they can attend any community college in the United States, after which they can transfer to almost any four-year university.

Many states will allow you to take the GED as early as age of 16. It is also possible to take the GED outside the United States and receive an International GED certificate.
