ADULT BASIC EDUCATION

Stepping Stones to Success Many adults who did not complete a high school program have continued to learn through a variety of experiences encountered in everyday life. The purpose of the GED testing program is to provide an opportunity for these individuals to have their learning evaluated and recognized and used for work or post secondary studies. Although the GED test represents less of a time commitment than a high school diploma, it’s not academically easier. The test is graded on an equivalency scale compared to current high school students. Prepare for and write the GED with the help of one or more of the following supports:

GED® College Supports Assessment: Assess your readiness to write the GED and find out if the GED diploma is the right path to meet your goals by taking part in the regularly scheduled Adult Basic Education intake testing process (see website for upcoming dates). No charge.

Materials The GED® study guide, available at the College bookstore, is a valuable tool for students preparing for GED® testing. The guide provides extensive review in all 5 test areas as well as answers with full explanations. Cost: $35

GED® Exams The computer based GED® Exam is made up of 5 subjects: Mathematics, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Science. Exams are $7 per subject. You can write one exam or multiple exams in one sitting.
