GED Preparation Classes
Classes are conducted four days a week to help students successfully pass the General Educational Development (GED) Test. Each student enrolled in GED classes completes an Orientation session with the instructor and an assessment test. A conference then helps the student and teacher review the assessment test results, determine the student's grade level in each section and develop specific goals for course completion.
Once a student is ready to the take the official GED Test, they can pre-register for the test at Harrison County Lifelong Learning. The Education Support Center (formally Reisz Adult Learning Center) administers the official GED Test at Harrison County Lifelong Learning in Corydon approximately 6 times a year. The Official GED Test will be administered at Lifelong Learning on Thursday, August 12 and Friday, August 13, 2010. The cost of the GED Test is $70.00 (effective June 1) and is due at pre-registration. The deadline to pre-register is Friday, August 6, 2010. The retesting fee is $20.00. Each day testing will begin at 8:30 a.m.
