GED Preparation
GED Stands for General Educational Development. When you take the GED, it is the equivalent of your High School diploma. It can also serve as a college entrance exam.
Our FREE GED preparation consists of meeting with a tutor. We have several accurate predictor tests that are good practice and will also tell you within 50 points the score you would get on the GED test.
Students must pass with a 410 on each of the five tests, but also with an average of 450 on all combined tests.
We do not give the actual GED test, we at Project Literacy will prepare you to take it.
