GED Preparation

What is the purpose of the GED?

The GED is made up of multiple choice tests in five subjects: reading, writing, science, mathematics and social studies. If you pass all five GED tests, you will receive a South Carolina High School Equivalency Diploma (GED). Passing the GED can be highly advantageous if you want to continue your education. The GED can help you get enrolled in college and qualify for financial aid. The GED also is a major requirement for many training programs, promotions and specialized assignments in the Armed Forces.

How do you sign up for the GED?

It is recommended that you first take the practice test, called the Pre-GED. The results of the Pre-GED will show if you are ready to pass all five parts of the GED, or if you need to brush up on some of your academic skills and knowledge. If you decide to enroll in a GED preparation class, there are many available in the tricounty area for little or no cost.
