GEDGED
Earning a GED requires passing an exam that tests a student's proficiency in mathematics and English based on the typical achievement level of a high school graduate. Students will take five subject tests: writing, reading, math, social studies, and science, and before they sit for the exam many students will enroll in a preparation course to practice the necessary skills and familiarize themselves with the format of the test. Richland Community College offers such a preparation program to students, and allows them to study at their personal level.
