CAEC Prep -100% online

Cansego is an online learning platform created specifically for Canadians preparing to pass the CAEC test—the new high school equivalency exam replacing the GED in many provinces.

Our program is designed to help students succeed in all five CAEC subjects by offering structured, easy-to-follow lessons and targeted practice.

Whether you’re returning to school after a break or balancing work and study, Cansego provides the flexibility and support you need to build confidence and make real progress.

Inside the Cansego course, you’ll find step-by-step video lessons that break down each topic clearly, making it easier to understand—even if you’ve struggled with school before.

You can track your progress as you move through the material, and take practice tests to get familiar with the kinds of questions you’ll see on the real exam.

We also include a special CAEC essay checker, a Confidence Booster for motivation, and study tools tailored to Canadian content—so you’re not studying irrelevant material.

It’s important to know that while Cansego helps you get fully prepared for the CAEC, we do not offer the test itself.

Once you’ve studied with us and feel ready, you’ll need to book your exam at an official CAEC test centre in your province.

Until then, Cansego gives you all the tools to study at your own pace, stay on track, and pass the CAEC with confidence.

CAEC vs. GED – what’s different?

Let’s look at the main differences and similarities between the GED and CAEC exams in Canada:

• Format: The Canadian GED was only available in paper-based format. The CAEC is offered in computer-based format, though some areas still allow paper-based testing.
• Content: The GED was based on U.S. standards. The CAEC is explicitly designed for Canadians, reflecting Canadian values, history, Indigenous perspectives, and culture.
• Recognition: Both GED and CAEC diplomas are accepted as equivalent to a standard Canadian high school diploma by colleges, employers, and government institutions.

Subjects: Both exams test students in:

• Reading
• Writing
• Mathematics
• Social Studies
• Science

CAEC test structure

The CAEC test is entirely computer-based and consists of five modular sub-exams. This means you can take them individually, if you wish, one at a time and in any order.

Here’s what to expect:

Reading:
50 questions
75 minutes

Writing:
1 persuasive essay
75 minutes

Math Part 1:
12 questions
30 minutes

Math Part 2:
30 questions
60 minutes

Social Studies:
40 questions
90 minutes

Science:

GED vs CAEC quick facts

The Canadian GED test was officially replaced by the CAEC test on May 3, 2024. This new Canadian-made assessment is now the standard High School Equivalency (HSE) test across most provinces and territories.

If you passed parts of the GED test before it ended, your scores can be transferred to the CAEC until May 2027. That means you don’t have to start over—your hard work still counts.

Do not use GED preparation resources when preparing for your CAEC test. The CAEC test is structured differently and contains many questions about typical Canadian values, traditions, cultures, economics, and government. 

Minimum age requirements for the CAEC test

Each province has its own rules for who can take the CAEC. Here’s a general guide:

• Age 16: Quebec (if implemented; requires special documentation)
• Age 17: Alberta, Yukon (if implemented)
• Age 18: Newfoundland & Labrador, Manitoba, NWT, NB, Ontario, PEI, Saskatchewan
• Age 19: Nova Scotia, Nunavut (if implemented)

You must also be a resident of the province where you take the exam. Testing is not available online and must be done at certified CAEC test centres.
