GED® Testing Information

 

 

Class registration has closed for all adult education classes in the region. Next registration will be held in August.

Which class is right for me?

  Adult Basic Education (ABE) classes are designed to provide basic skills instruction for adults 18 and  older whose math and reading skills have been assessed at or below the GED readiness level.

Many adults enroll in ABE with a long-term goal of the GED exam; however, they may need the basic skills instruction of ABE to be ready for the GED test-preparation course.

  General Educational Development (GED®) Preparation classes are designed to prepare adult students, 18 and older, for the GED High School Equivalency exam. Generally, students must demonstrate reading, writing, and math skills above the 8th grade level to be properly enrolled in the GED review course.

This course prepares students for the five subject area tests of the GED battery:
 
math, science, social studies, reading, and writing skills.

Textbooks and internet based materials are available for use in the classroom and at home.

An assessment is given at registration that will help with proper class placement.  Most of our classes meet twice a week; however, we also offer "Fast Track" classes for those students whose initial assessment indicates readiness to take the test.

When are classes held?

Classes run from September through May, with a winter break in mid-December.
