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 early April. 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:
Session
I: Tuesday, March 8, and Thursday, March 10 (must attend both
nights), 6:30 - 10 p.m., Maine East High School, 2601 Dempster
St., Park Ridge.
Session II: Monday, March 14, and Wednesday, March 16 (must
attend both nights), 6:30 - 10 p.m., Niles North High School,
