Cansego offers a complete online prep program designed specifically for the Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) test, which officially replaced the GED in Canada in May 2024.
In this post, we’ll walk you through how Cansego helps students prepare for all five subjects covered on the CAEC—and how it’s different from older GED prep resources.

Bite-Sized Lessons with Built-in Practice
Cansego breaks down the complex CAEC curriculum into short, easy-to-follow video lessons.
Each lesson covers just one topic at a time—so students don’t feel overwhelmed—and is followed by a quick quiz and review flashcards to reinforce understanding.
Each subject includes 10 full-length practice tests, and all progress is automatically tracked, allowing students to study at their own pace.
This approach helps students stay focused, retain more information, and feel confident as they move through the course.
It’s ideal for adult learners balancing their studies with work or family responsibilities.
Real CAEC-Style Questions
Throughout the course, students will encounter practice questions and tests that mirror the format and difficulty of the actual CAEC exam.
These include extended response prompts for writing, multiple-choice science questions, and reading passages that reflect Canadian content.
Cansego also clearly explains the structure of the test, including how much time is allowed for each subtest and how many questions to expect. Here’s a quick overview:
| Subject | Time | Number of Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Language Reading | 75 minutes | 50 questions |
| Language Writing | 75 minutes | 1 essay |
| Math (No Calc + Calc) | 30 and 90 minutes | 42 questions (12 and 30) |
| Science | 90 minutes | 35 questions |
| Social Studies | 90 minutes | 40 questions |
From GED to CAEC: What’s Changed?
The CAEC test is more than just a replacement for the GED—it’s a Canadian-made exam built to reflect the country’s values, cultures, and academic expectations.
Unlike the GED, which was paper-based, the CAEC is delivered primarily on a computer, though some provinces still offer a paper option.
It includes five sub-exams: Language Reading, Language Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For more information on CAEC test scores, <- check this page.
If you previously took the GED test in Canada, some of your results may still count toward the CAEC until May 2027.
Note that the GED is no longer available; the CAEC is now the official high school equivalency credential in most Canadian provinces and territories. (British Columbia, Yukon, Nunavut, and Quebec do not use the CAEC.)
The CAEC diploma has the same value as a traditional high school diploma in most situations. It’s recognized by employers and post-secondary institutions across Canada.
What Cansego Offers (And What We Don’t)
Cansego is an independent online prep program. We do not administer the CAEC test itself. Instead, our job is to help you pass it—quickly and confidently.
Our lessons, quizzes, flashcards, and full-length practice tests are designed to align with the CAEC in both content and structure.
We recommend verifying all test details with official CAEC sources, especially in your province or territory.
If you are a Canadian Armed Forces member and want to earn high school credits or a CAEC to expand your career options, you should check our page “Earn a high school diploma or CAEC in the Canadian Armed Forces.”
Pleasenote that Cansego offers high-quality CAEC instruction. We, however, do NOT give the CAEC exam. We help students pass the CAEC exam quickly, but please verify the above-given information against your province’s official CAEC sources to ensure accuracy.
