What to bring: You do not need to bring anything! ID is not required for a Practice Test. All materials–pencils, pens, calculators, etc. – will be provided.
Program length: approximately 4 hours.
We will administer the following sections:
• Reading (35 minutes)
• Math (45 minutes)
• Writing – multiple choice (45 minutes)
• Essay – (45 minutes)
The Science and Social Studies sections will not be administered in this session. They are very similar to the Reading section of the exam. If you pass all sections above and earn the testing scholarship (see below) we will discuss the Social Studies and Science sections and you will have a chance to try them if you like before taking the Official GED.
Scores: Will be available 7-10 days after the exam. We will call you to discuss your results and mail or e-mail you a score report.
Scholarships: If you score 450+ (about 75%) on all exams you will earn a testing scholarship. Normally the GED Test costs $65.00. You will be invited to register for the GED exam with Roxbury Community College and the fee will be waived. For this registration, you will need a photo ID (license, passport, or state ID) and, if you are under 18, a Letter of Withdrawal from your last school of attendance. Please note: You must be a Boston resident to receive this scholarship.
The GED Practice Test Program is funded by the Fellowes Athenaeum Fund of the Boston Public Library.
Cancellations: please call or e-mail ASAP if you need to cancel.
