ABE/GED Options

Make Your Choice

Adult Basic Education Students can choose from 4 Options.

  • The Study Advising Option allows students to attend 6-8 week sessions that will improve their reading, writing, math, employability, and technology skills and prepare them to pass the GED tests.
     
  • The Assessment, Feedback, and Preparation Option allows students who would like to know if they can pass the GED tests a chance to find out. Students receive feedback on assessments they are given and then begin preparation for the GED test in a 12-49 hour time frame.
     
  • The GED Testing Only Option allows candidate(s) to sign up, pay, and take the Official GED Practice Tests (OPT).  If one passes the OPT test, then candidate(s) can sign up, pay, and take the Official GED Tests.  This option is only offered once every three months.
     
  • The On-line Study Option is available for students who are unable to prepare for the GED Tests in the Center.  Students are able to study for the GED using the Internet and computer software.  There are a limited number of “seats” available for this option.
