Register
now for General Educational Development (GED) courses
offered in cooperation with local high schools by the Alliance for
Lifelong Learning at Oakton Community College.
GED
courses prepare students age 19 and older to pass the GED Test, which
covers five subject areas - writing, reading, social studies, science,
and math. Most employers and schools accept this credential as equivalent
to a high school diploma.
A
variety of test preparation classes begin in mid-January. In addition
to the pre-GED classes in English, reading, and math skills, Oakton
offers GED-level review classes in essay writing, reading, math, science,
social studies, English, and the U.S. Constitution.
To
enroll in GED test preparation classes, students must attend
a free two-night session for placement testing, counseling,
and registration:
