The official GED Test cannot be taken online; beware of web sites and other sources that tell you otherwise.
Rappahannock Area Regional Adult Education: GED Preparation classes are designed to prepare adult students, 18 and older, for the GED High School Equivalency exam. Adults registered in RARAE classes may have their test fee waived through class attendance and successful completion of the official GED Practice Test.
Middle College of Germanna Community College: The Middle College Program is designed to meet the needs of people who are between 18-24 years old and have not graduated from high school. The comprehensive goal of the program is to have the students complete the Middle College Program, enroll in a certificate or degree program at Germanna Community College, and enter the workforce. Academically, the focus of the program is to help students prepare for the GED Test and earn college credit simultaneously. Our small class setting provides a unique environment that engages the students in critical thinking and problem solving. Every staff member serves as a mentor, advisor, and student advocate.
Virginia’s Race to GED: Education for Success - The Race to GED is a workforce initiative of the Office of Adult Education, Virginia Department of Education. The goal of the Race to GED is to meet or exceed 20,000 Virginians passing the General Educational Development (GED) Tests annually. GED graduates are a vital component of a globally competitive workforce that strengthens existing business and supports economic growth and development in Virginia.
Race to GED is an innovative approach to adult education based on two instructional programs: GED Fast Track and GED Prep. These two programs assess what a person already knows and prescribe instruction to prepare adults for success on GED Tests. The time it takes to earn a GED is dramatically shortened, from one year required in traditional adult education, to three months or less with GED Fast Track and only 180 days with GED Prep.
The initiative targets working age adults, 18 to 64 years of age, who are employed or employable and can demonstrate academic readiness to prepare for and pass the English version of the GED Tests. GED graduates are competent in the workplace, qualified for advancement to higher-level skills, and capable of achieving in post secondary education or technical-skills certification.
GEDPractice.com is a free service provided by Steck-Vaughn to familiarize you with the types of items you will see on the actual GED test.
