Take the GED Test On Computer

The GED Testing Service is rebranding itself to be a GED MarketPlace.  They released a press release this month announcing this.  It is partnering with Scholastic and says it won’t have GED advertisements. This is a good thing, because adds are a huge problem when you search the internet. 

There are many for profit companies that try to get the GED business of those who don’t have a diploma. Some are real scams to suck you in and get your money. When going to any online site, make sure an online company or school is creditable.  The new marketplace site, still bothered me as it moved quickly to selling books.

You can still take the test in paper or can now do it via computer in Florida through 2013, but you still need to go into an Official GED Test Site.  Starting in 2014 you will only be able to take the new test online.

Computer literacy can be an issue for adult learners. Some are unfamiliar with compters. There is a tutorial at this site that provides a computer literacy overview for those who are not savvy with the computer.  Go to  www.GEDtestingservice.com/educators/great-things

You may want to start at the library and get help from staff on how to find what you need.  It isn’t as friendly as google, but is much more authoritative.  You can also listen to articles online or download articles via a podcast. So, if you can’t read very well, the information is still accessible to you.  Articles can also be translated to other languages if a person cannot read English, but can read their home language.
