Most jobs and all colleges require applicants to have a high school diploma or GED equivalency diploma. This self-guided course is an introduction to the GED and the four subject tests - Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Social Studies, and Science. Participants will become familiar with the format of the GED test and the TI-30XS calculator, review sample questions, and learn test-taking strategies.
