GED Challenge 800

Many people interested in taking and passing the GED examination would like to continue with their education by enrolling in college classes. These intensive classes are designed specifically for those students who would like to pass the GED with higher scores and become better prepared for college entrance examinations as well.

Unlike many classes offered throughout the city, each of these classes is subject-specific and requires a minimum of nine classroom hours each week for eight weeks. During those eight weeks, students will work hard to make academic progress while also receiving instruction and guidance in study skills. Instructors do not act as tutors but rather lecture and guide students through the material; regular homework, quizzes, and tests are part of this experience. Class participation is a must, and students can expect their readiness for college classes to increase in direct relation to their efforts in these classes.

Before enrolling, interested students must take a free practice GED assessment examination. All examinations are given by appointment only, and the program manager will provide individualized guidance to all prospective students who take the assessment exam. Students who do not meet the minimum entry score for this program will be referred to centers and agencies providing a more appropriate level of GED instruction.

The GED Challenge 800 program includes the classes listed below.

  • GED Challenge 800—Reading
  • GED Challenge 800—Writing
  • GED Challenge 800—Mathematics
