The GED testing program gives adults a way to demonstrate competency equivalent to a high school education; the GED preparation tutorial is offered as a series of classes in all five-subject areas. The tutorial covers the subject matter at a slower pace and allows for a greater focus on subject matter than the traditional GED review Note: The GED is earned by passing all five-subject areas on the GED test (math, language arts reading, language arts writing, social studies and science.
