Register
now for General Educational Development (GED) courses offered
by the Alliance for Lifelong Learning at Oakton Community College,
in cooperation with area high schools.
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 the credential as equivalent
to a high school diploma.
A
variety of test preparation classes begin in late January. In addition
to the pre-GED classes in English, reading, and math skills, Oakton's
continuing education program offers GED-level review classes in essay
writing, reading, math, science, social studies, English, and the
U.S. Constitution.
Some
review classes are available in Spanish. To enroll in GED test preparation
classes, students must attend one of the following free sessions for
placement testing, counseling, and registration:
Session I: Tuesday, Jan. 4, and Thursday, Jan. 6 (must attend
both nights), 6:30 - 10 p.m., Maine East High School, 2601 Dempster
St., Park Ridge.
Session II: Monday, Jan. 10, and Wednesday, Jan. 12 (must
attend both nights), 6:30 - 10 p.m., Niles North High School,
