GED Preparation & Testing
    • GEDÒ Preparation
      The General Equivalency Diploma (GED) exam is a comprehensive 7-hour test in Social Studies, Math, Science and Language Arts in both writing and reading.  Examinees are expected to be able to read, compute, interpret information, and express in writing on a level comparable to that of 60% of graduating high school seniors in the United States.

      Preparation is an essential part of the GED.  Preparation starts with the GED pre-test at the Assessment and Registration Center.  After completing registration and assessment, students are either referred to the GED testing center in Chaska, or referred to free preparation classes located in Shakopee, Chaska or Waconia.

      Students begin by making an appointment for a free assessment during the following registration times:

      Shakopee - Valley Green Workforce Center - Mon. 1:00 p.m.; Thurs. 5:30 p.m.
      Chaska - Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative - Wed. 5:30 p.m
      Waconia - Waconia Area Learning Center - Tues. 5:30 p.m.
