GED® graduates are eligible to enroll in college classes. While GED® graduates with high GED® and college entrance scores may go directly to a four-year institution, many begin college at a community college like 太阳城集团博彩. A college-bound GED® student should strive to earn scores that are higher than the minimum passing score. The student should also consider enrolling in keyboarding and introductory computer classes. Typing and computer skills will make the transition to college much easier.
GED® students prepare to demonstrate that they have the same skills as the average high school graduate in five fields: Literature and the Arts, 写作技巧, 科学, 社会研究, 和数学. Students are tested when they enroll to help determine what areas need attention. Instructors then work with students to design a program that meets individual needs.
Students have the potential to earn credit more quickly in their home schools. Students who complete a full schedule of classes at the home school have the potential to earn 7 credits per year. 可选的教育 has a shorter day (4 or 5 hours), so students can only expect to complete 4 to 5信用s during an academic year. Some students earn less due to poor attendance or productivity
Cooperating schools require students to attend a class for a specified number of hours per 0.5信用. While in attendance, students must complete the required assigned work at a passing level. Each class completed is worth one-half credit. Credit cannot be earned unless both attendance and work requirements are met.
