GED® Success Stories
I completed my GED® and SAT in December 2015. I worked as an au pair in Switzerland and Belgium from 2016-2019. A high school diploma was required for work visa purposes in both countries.
I was accepted to study at three institutions in NZ in 2020: Massey University, Auckland University of Technology and Unitec. I chose to study a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) degree at Massey University.

Kayleigh completed the GED and the the SAT.
For admission to a degree in Communication Design, she also needed a portfolio of artwork.
Besides one year of tuition with an art teacher in her early teens, she was home educated and her art was mostly self-taught.
Her applications were accepted by all 4 institutions to which she applied: University of Auckland, NMIT, Unitec and AUT, which is where she chose to study, starting in 2022.
My son, Zac, sat the GED and SAT (including two subject tests) in 2018 and was admitted to Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) at Auckland University. He is currently in his second year. It was a wonderfully flexible option for us.
I would highly recommend the SAT/ACT + GED option to university-bound homeschool highschoolers.
I should add that back in 2018 I helped another student use this option and he was offered places in both Biomedical Science and Engineering at Auckland University. Another student, daughter of a close friend, is taking this path this year too.

I have successfully completed my GED, thanks to the help of the online GED prep. My journey to completely my high school education has been quite tedious and I can honestly say that I could not have done it without Lime Feather Learning.
To anyone who is looking at using the online GED prep, it will be the best investment in yourself you could ever make. Thank you to all who helped assist me in completing my GED.

My daughter Michaiah has completed the GED this year and just last week sat the ACT.
She is now all lined up to go to university if she wants (still deciding).
She may sit some SAT subject tests in December to broaden her options.

My son, Caleb, completed his GED® end of November 2018 and is enrolled at University of the People to do his BSc Computer Science.
My daughter wrote her GED® in 2017 and is currently doing her BSc through University of the People.
This is her second term on Dean’s list which means her GPA is 3.5 and higher. Her marks, this last term, averaged 90%.

My daughter Alexandra did the GED®/SAT combo. She is studying Nursing in Australia with the goal to become a midwife.
She could have entered the Honours Program for Nursing/Midwifery from the start at ECU with the GED/SAT combo, but due to financial constraints we opted for the University Pathways program.
