GED Practice Testing

When you complete your course study, and have made a minimum of 80% on all online work, you need to call your GED online instructor to schedule your practice test on site. You both will determine a convenient date, time, and place to take the GED Practice Test. A GED Practice Test recommendation form will be sent to the tester to notify them of your test schedule (either at James Building or at Scotland Center). After testing, your recommendation form with your score will be sent to your online instructor and you will be contacted regarding your score, which you will receive within 48 hours. Once you have made the minimum of 480 on the Practice test you will be scheduled to take the Official test in that subject.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

ESL classes are designed for adults who are not native English speakers. These adults will improve their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and employability skills. The classes also prepare adults for the naturalization exam to become American citizens.
