The GED (General Educational Development) is a group of four subject tests that, when passed, certify the test-taker has US or Canadian high school-level academic skills. It is recognised as equivalent to a high school diploma by thousands of colleges, employers, and government agencies worldwide.
Anyone who is not currently enrolled in high school and is at least 16 years old (requirements vary by location) may register. There is no requirement to have attended school, and the test is open to international students in many countries.
The GED covers four subjects: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Science, and Social Studies. Each is a separate exam that can be taken independently — you can sit one subject at a time.
Each GED subject is scored on a scale of 100–200. A score of 145 or above per subject is required to pass. Scoring 165+ (GED College Ready) signals college readiness, while 175+ (College Ready + Credit) may qualify you for college credit at some institutions.
Most students are ready within 2–6 months of structured study, depending on their starting level and weekly hours committed. InnoEd's GED courses run 8–12 weeks with a clear, milestone-based study plan.
Yes. After two failed attempts there is typically a waiting period before a third attempt, depending on your testing jurisdiction. InnoEd helps students identify weak areas before retakes so each attempt is more targeted.
Yes, in many countries. In the US, Canada, and a growing number of international institutions, a GED diploma is treated equivalently to a high school diploma. Always check the specific entry requirements of your target institution.
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardised test widely used for college admissions in the United States and internationally. It assesses reading, writing, and mathematics skills and is developed and administered by the College Board.
Since 2024, the SAT has moved to a fully digital, adaptive format. The Digital SAT is shorter (approximately 2 hours 14 minutes), adapts question difficulty based on your performance in each module, and is taken on a computer or approved tablet. The scoring scale remains 400–1600.
The SAT is scored 400–1600. A score of 1000 is roughly the national average. Scores of 1200+ are competitive for many universities, while highly selective institutions often expect 1400 or above. The right target depends on your specific university list.
There is no official limit. Most students take it 2–3 times to reach their target. You can choose which scores to send to colleges using the College Board's Score Choice option, so only your best results need to be shared.
Most students benefit from 2–4 months of focused preparation. InnoEd's SAT Exam Preparation course runs 12 weeks and includes 6 full-length timed practice tests, evidence-based score strategy, and personalised feedback on weak areas.
Many US universities require or strongly recommend the SAT for international applicants, though some have adopted test-optional policies. Always check the specific admissions criteria for each university you are applying to.
A strong SAT score is one component of a university application. Combined with GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and recommendation letters, a competitive SAT score can meaningfully strengthen your application — especially at institutions that still require it.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the world's most widely recognised English language proficiency test, accepted by universities, employers, and governments in over 140 countries for study, work, and migration purposes.
IELTS Academic is for those applying to undergraduate or postgraduate university programmes, or seeking professional registration. IELTS General Training is for those migrating to English-speaking countries or applying for work-related training. Both test Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
Most undergraduate programmes require an Overall Band Score of 6.0–6.5. Postgraduate programmes typically require 6.5–7.5, and some competitive programmes require 7.0 or above. Always check the specific entry requirements for your chosen course.
IELTS results are valid for two years from the test date. After two years, most universities, employers, and visa authorities will not accept the results and a retest is required.
Each of the four skills — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — is scored on a 9-band scale. Band 9 is Expert User and Band 1 is Non-User. The Overall Band Score is the average of all four, rounded to the nearest 0.5.
Preparation time depends on your current English level and target band score. Students typically need 6–16 weeks of structured study. InnoEd offers an IELTS Foundation course (6 weeks) for those building their base, and an IELTS Preparation course (10 weeks) targeting Band 7 and above.
There is no limit on the number of attempts. Most students improve meaningfully with structured preparation between attempts rather than retaking without additional study. InnoEd provides a targeted improvement plan before each retake.
