GED Instruction

If you are 16 years or older, enroll in GED classes. Take the free GED practice test to see if you need to brush up on skills before you take the GED test. If you need coaching in areas such as math or essay writing, that's where you start. (16, 17, and 18 year olds need to contact the center before attending classes. There are special state forms that they need to complete prior to attendance.)

GED Test

The GED test changed in January 2002. The new GED Tests released in January 2002 will evaluate proficiencies that were not assessed on the former battery of tests. Because of these changes, scores earned on the former tests cannot be combined with scores from the new tests. It is important to make these changes so that the GED Tests stay close to the type of work students are being asked to perform in high schools and so that Georgia will continue to award a high school equivalency diploma based on passing the tests.

The new GED test will be given at FLAG starting in May of 2002. The test will be given 2 evenings from 5:00 to 9:00. Testers must be present both evenings to complete the entire test. Please call to schedule a practice test.
