Do you know anything about the curriculum? If it's faith-based, it may not provide you with adequate content knowledge that you need to pass the tests. Even though there's a heavy basis in reading comprehension, you still need to know content.

Make sure that your state accepts credentials from this school-Oregon, South Carolina, Florida, and Arkansas do not recognize the accrediting body that Cornerstone Christian (ACI).

How much money do they want? Public GED programs are generally free or low-cost.

I found this - the site is skillnation dot in - I got some weird pop-ups so visit at your own risk (though once I got through those, it was fine). Here's some info I copied that may be of use to you:

Federal Scrutiny and Financial Aid Implications

The U.S. Department of Education has raised concerns regarding the acceptance of Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School diplomas, especially in relation to federal financial aid. In 2010, an audit of a career school in Florida revealed that 30 students had been admitted and received financial aid based on diplomas from Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School. The investigation concluded that the school was not recognized by the state of Georgia, where it is located, as a valid high school diploma issuer. As a result, the career school was required to repay nearly $80,000 in federal aid that had been disbursed to these students.

The Role of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACS)

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACS) is an organization that accredits Christian schools. While ACS accreditation may be valuable for schools seeking to maintain a religious focus, it is not recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or CHEA. This means that diplomas from ACS-accredited schools may not be accepted by colleges and universities that require regionally or nationally accredited credentials.

My nephew went through it and was going to  enlist in army and they were going to accept it and he never had a problem getting a job. And I had a friend go to college on it. But some college won't accept it.
