The GED Examination The GED exam is given monthly to individuals who are at least 17 years of age and have been officially withdrawn from school for a minimum of six months. A withdrawal document with parental signature is needed for all 17 and 18 year olds. There is a $13 fee for all who are 21 years and older.

GED Testing Accommodations Accommodations of the GED test are available for qualified individuals with a disability. For more information, please contact María Pukas or Karen O’Connell at (860)437-2385; or contact Mr. Ajit Gopalakrishnan, CT State Department of Education, at (860)807-2125.

About the GED Examination The GED examination is a battery of five (5) comprehensive tests designed to measure, as directly as possible, the major generalizations, ideas, and intellectual skills that are the outcome of four years of formal high school study. The entire test battery takes 7 hours and 15 minutes to complete. A brief description of each of the sub-tests follows.

Language Arts - Writing: This test consists of two parts. Part I requires you to recognize or correct errors, revise sentences or passages, or shift constructions in the four areas of organization, sentence structure, usage, and mechanics (capitalization, punctuation, and spelling). The types of letters and memos you would normally write are likely to be included. Informational texts from business-related documents will be used.

In Part II you will have to write a well-developed essay on a topic familiar to most adults. You will be asked to have an audience and a purpose in mind for the essay. You will write in a real life context and adopt a role. You will be asked to generate (produce) ideas, express them clearly, organize the ideas, and connect them appropriately.

Social Studies: This test looks at history in terms of critical points in time and clusters (groups) of historical periods.

Psychology, the science of behavior, is not a separate content area, but it is included in social studies areas. More emphasis is placed on U.S. and world history and civics and government.

Science: The science test is based on the National Science Education Standards (NSES). It emphasizes scientific understandings and places special emphasis on the environment and on health questions. Science education focuses on the activities or ways in which people use science in their daily lives.

Language Arts - Reading: This test asks you to read literary text and to show that you can comprehend, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate concepts. In addition, the test asks you to read and comprehend nonfiction prose including informational texts (such as job benefits or letters to the editor typical in daily living), literary nonfiction, texts based on viewing components, and business documents.

Mathematics: The mathematics test consists mainly of word problems to be solved. Therefore, you must be able to combine your ability to perform computations with problem-solving skills. Fifty percent of the problems will require the use of a special calculator provided at the test site, and fifty percent of the questions will not permit the use of a calculator. Alternate formats are especially important on this test.

The calculator use is intended to eliminate the tediousness of making complex calculations in realistic, everyday settings.
