Have student create an account at GED.com. It is important that they link to DAE, see directions here:
DAE will pay for a student's GED Ready tests if they've completed 12 hours of coursework. They can reach those 12 hours in a variety of ways, including in person with a tutor, online on Edmentum or IXL and through our Common Lit Packets. Below are the links to the Common Lit packets in each subject area.
If a student thinks they're ready for the GED Ready, but aren't 100% sure if they want to try it, then they can always try a paper practice test to see how they do. Each paper test is half the length of the official test and should have the answer key attached so they can score it themselves.
*Note: These packets don't count for hours, but will help a student become more comfortable for the official test.
HOW TO SCHEDULE THE OFFICIAL GED:
Before a student can schedule their GED test, they need to have a green GED Ready score that was taken within the past 60 days. Students can take the test at home or at CAD if they have the correct technology requirements. You can find out more info here: https://ged.com/take-the-ged-test-online/
If students would like to use DAE testing rooms, scheduling is a bit complicated.
Students should log into GED and begin signing up for the test
Get to the screen to schedule their time and date
Call our Nancy at our front desk 218-336-8725 and she will open our testing room calendar and you can work together to find a time and date that is open to schedule the test. Remember we are open Mon.-Thur. 8:30 - 3:30.
The student should plan to arrive 30 min. before their test begins.
*Important - if a student needs to reschedule their GED test and they cannot follow the above process because GED is requiring them to schedule and DAE is not open, please tell the student to call or email us to let us know when their rescheduled test is. If they don’t let us know, it is possible the testing room will not be available.
