Each of the four GED tests are $30. When a student is ready to take a GED test they must go to GED.com and login to their personal GED account, register for a test date and time, and pay the $30 fee. 成人教育 staff is available to help students create a personal GED account and register for tests. Although registration occurs through GED.com, all testing is done at either The bbin信誉网站 测试中心, or The Rock Island County Regional Office of Education.

Tests are offered at The bbin信誉网站 测试中心 and The Rock Island County Regional Office of Education to take the test. If students choose to test at that The Rock Island County Regional Office of Education they must contact the office directly to set up a preferred testing date and time. If students choose to take the test at The bbin信誉网站 测试中心 no appointment is needed. 学生 are welcome to walk in during normal business hours to test. The only requirement is that students arrive one hour before close of business to ensure ample testing time.

There is no fee to take the Constitution module.  This module can be completed once students have taken their first GED exam.

Cooperating schools require students to attend a class for a specified number of hours per .5信用. While in attendance, students must complete the required assigned work at a passing level. Each class completed is worth one-half credit. Credit cannot be earned unless both attendance and work requirements are met.

学生 have the potential to earn credit more quickly in their home schools. 学生 who complete a full schedule of classes at the home school have the potential to earn 7 credits per year. 可选的教育 has a shorter day (4 or 5 hours), so students can only expect to complete 4 to 5信用s during an academic year. Some students earn less due to poor attendance or productivity.

GED® students prepare to demonstrate that they have the same skills as the average high school graduate in five fields: Literature and the Arts, 写作技巧, 科学, 社会研究, 和数学. 学生 are tested when they enroll to help determine what areas need attention. Instructors then work with students to design a program that meets individual needs.

GED® graduates are eligible to enroll in college classes. While GED® graduates with high GED® and college entrance scores may go directly to a four-year institution, many begin college at a community college like bbin信誉网站. A college-bound GED® student should strive to earn scores that are higher than the minimum passing score. The student should also consider enrolling in keyboarding and introductory computer classes. Typing and computer skills will make the transition to college much easier.
