Prepare to take your General Education Development (GED) exam
GED Prep Course
The GED examination preparation course covers
- English (grammar and fundamentals of written English)
- reading techniques for comprehension, evaluation and application interpretations
- mathematics (problem solving, basic math review, geometry and algebra)
The subject matter we review in class depends upon your skills and needs. You determine the pace of instruction. While a few students complete their goals in five weeks, others require additional time to prepare for the GED exam. You may re-enroll in classes until you successfully complete the GED examination.
If you're not reading at a 9th grade level, you will be enrolled in a reading class and instructed in pre-GED skills.
Please note: you can buy the suggested book at the MCC Bookstore for about $20.00.
