GED®  

Is lack of a high school diploma keeping you from getting a better job or attending college?  Let us help you reach higher levels of success!

Why take the GED® Test?

The GED® test can help you move on to the next level—college, technical training, or a better job.  For most employers, colleges and universities, and branches of the military, passing the GED® test proves that you're ready to meet the challenge.  If you have children or grandchildren, you may want to take the GED® test to encourage them to pursue their education.  Or you may want to take the GED® test just to feel good about reaching a goal you set for yourself.

What you need to know

The Arkansas GED® Testing Program serves all Arkansans who are 16 years or older, not enrolled in or graduated from high school, and who meet other state requirements regarding residency and testing eligibility.

The GED® credential is based on five tests.  The test covers reading, writing, social studies, science, and mathematics.  The tests also measure communication, information-processing, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.  The GED® test is designed to measure academic skills and knowledge in subjects that are learned during four years of high school.  The GED® test cannot be taken online.

Are you READY?

Before taking the GED® test in Arkansas, you must take and pass the official GED Practice Tests through an approved Adult Education Center or GED Testing Center^TM. If you need additional instruction, you can enroll in an adult education program in or near your community. GED® study guides are also available in your local library, computer software store, or bookstore.
