The Genral Educational Development (GED) Test is designed to provide an opportunity for adults who have not graduated from high school to earn a State of Florida High School Diploma. The test measures the major academic skills and knowledge associated with a high school program of study that graduating seniors should know and be able to do with increased emphasis on workplace and higher education. The GED Test battery includes the following subject area tests:
- Language Arts, Reading
- Language Arts, Writing
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
Many companies are now requiring new employees to have a high school diploma or equivalent. A GED will open more doors for you to continue your education. MCC accepts the GED diploma for entrance purposes into our certificate and degree programs.
MCC offers free year-round classes to help you prepare for the GED exam. The classes are free and offered in English in multiple locations and times. The program is open-entry, open-exit which means that you may start at any time throughout the year and then take the GED test when you and your teacher think you are ready.
