After
December 2013, you will no longer be able to take the written (paper and
pencil) GED test. The
GED test will be a new and different exam, and you’ll only be able to take
it on a computer. Scores
for any tests you’ve passed before that date will expire (i.e. will not be
use-able). If
you don’t have your GED by then, you will have to start over studying for
a new test.
Register no for
Ann Arbor Public Schools Adult Education free GED Preparation. This includes free testing if you attend class. See the attached flyer for more information.
