The GED program was established in 1942 to help returning World War II veterans complete their education without returning to high school. The GED testing program has grown significantly over the years. In 2004, 700,000 people took the test nationally.

The 2002 version reflects the most up-to-date high school
curriculum standards while including content relevant to the workplace and community. The GED Tests serve only one
purpose-to certify a high school level of academic knowledge
and skills.

There are five parts to the test: Language Arts, Writing, Science, Language Arts, Reading, Social Studies, and Mathematics.
The test also measures skills in communications, information processing, problem solving and critical thinking. To obtain the
GED, A person must pass each section and have an average
score of 450.

When you are ready to take the GED Test, you will need to contact our office. We will send you an informational brochure on how to complete the application.

The test is given on two consecutive Saturdays. Once your test is completed it is sent to the State GED Office to be scored. You will
be notified of your results in approximately two weeks.
