Do homeschool students need the GED ?
No. The GED exam is one option available to demonstrate academic capability. In the past the GED was the principle requirement for entering Montana’s universities. As referenced above, that has been changed by the Montana Board of Regents. Since diplomas issued to homeschool graduates are not the same as those from state accredited public high schools, often the GED exam is used as a substitute. In deciding whether to take this exam, first determine whether it is necessary for your future plans. In Montana, most enter college by simply taking the PSAT and SAT exams.
