Beginning January, 2008
If you had a GED diploma, it could make a world of difference in your life; a promotion, a better job, more money, and a higher standard of living to name a few. Even a $500 HOPE voucher to continue your education.
If you think getting your GED is hard, you're wrong. If you need help, there are classes to help you prepare for the GED tests at our local center on 632 Fifth Street. Tutors are available at the center on Wednesday evenings. There are even some classes by television and online.
If is a very big word. GED is bigger.
Are you wanting to prepare to take the GED Test but the preparation classes are only offered at inconvenient times or locations? Do you want to study for the GED Test but need the help of an instructor? Are you wanting to learn using the most recent preparation content with the convenience of working online and at your own pace? Well, now there is a way through our GED Program.
General Educational Development Diploma (GED) Guidelines
The GED testing program is jointly administered by the GED Testing Service (GEDTS) of the American Council on Education and by the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education Office of Adult Literacy. The GED battery of tests is developed by GEDTS and the same tests are given in all fifty states.
The GED test provides adults at least 16 years of age who are beyond the age of compulsory high school attendance under state law with an opportunity to earn a high school equivalency diploma. In order to pass the GED test, a student must pass a series of five tests in writing skills, social studies, science, interpreting literature and arts, and mathematics. Successfully passing these sections demonstrates that the student has acquired a level of learning that is comparable to that of high school graduates. The GEDTS has set a national standard for the minimum score an examinee can receive in order to pass the GED. GED diplomas are issued according to the following guidelines:
Who is eligible to take the GED tests?
The GED tests can be administered only to persons who:
* have not graduated from an accredited high school or received a high school equivalency certificate or diploma;
* are not currently enrolled in a regular high school;
* are above16 years of age.
