I'm a Vietnamese student who would probably go to America next year as an exchange student. I will be in year 12 and I don't know much about the subjects and american education system.
One more thing, the school that I will go to couldn't award me any diplomas or graduation certificates because I'm an exchange student. So if anyone knows about others equal diplomas that I could get (SAT or ACT), please tell me...... Question

I would be grateful for your help.

Hi News,

You can start by taking a look at the GED High School Equivalency Diploma Test on the American Council on Education website:

http://www.acenet.edu/AM/Template.cfm?Section=TestTakersInfo&Template=/TaggedPage/TaggedPageDisplay.cfm&TPLID=58&ContentID=7789

You'll find information about the test and sample questions to try.

You can read about the subjects high school students study here:

Where is the school you're hoping to attend? I may be able to get more specific information for you if I know where you'll be attending school.

Good luck!

Harmony
