Is the GED really a credible and reliable credential? Is it the same as a high school diploma? What score needs to be obtained to be able to enter college? What's a faster and easier way to study for the said exam?

GED holders are considered to be high school dropouts.
I'm helping my cousin out, and he's a high school dropout alright. Feels embarrassed to finish his high school, too, that's why he's deciding to take the GED. He's saying that even if the GED isn't worth much, it's better than having nothing at all. Online studying has helped him gear up for his test. He's using Test Prep Toolkit online and he seems happy about it. It allows him to study at his own pace and time, and he's having a good time with the free online practice tests and video courses.
Tell him to get the GED and then 2 years of community college. That will at least make life tolerable

Rather, they are considered to have fallen off the traditional high school path and recovered. I think the GED demonstrates some wisdom and gumption.

Trying joining the military with just a GED. The Air Force won't take you, period, and the Army only allows 5% of enlistees to be GED holders. All you need to do to graduate from high school is show up, and a GED indicates that you couldn't be bothered to do that.
