On several occasions during the year, a practice exam will be given to determine if the student is ready to take the GED exam. The instructor makes this determination. In addition to receiving a qualifying score in the practice exam, students must complete a vocational component to the GED program before taking the GED exam. This component consists of career exploration, a variety of employability skills and occupational training. For students, age 18 and under, who receive a qualifying score and complete the vocational component, the instructor will request a waiver from the Superintendent of Schools for the student to take the GED exam on the next available test date.
