| How Long Will It Take Before I Can Take the Test? |
| This is the question everyone wants to know. How long will I have to be in classes until I can take the GED exam? The answer is not simple and it is different for everyone. For some people it takes a couple months and for others, it can take a couple years. Regular attendance and class participation will help you move through the program at a faster pace. Your teacher will be able to give you a better answer when you come in for orientation and take a basic math and reading test. |
