People who aspire to finish their General Education Development (GED) high school equivalency certificate should connect with ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú’s Adult Basic Education/GED program and make a special effort to finish in 2013.
The official GED test will change in 2014 and will be more difficult and more expensive. Plus, the test will move from a pencil and paper test to a computer-based test.
Those aspiring to finish their GED credential can only take the test three times in 2013 before scores on sections already passed expire and the new test is implemented on Jan. 1, 2014.
Hinds’ Adult Basic Education program offers test dates throughout the remainder of the calendar year.
Call 601.857.3912 for more information. For a complete list of the test dates for the remainder of 2013 see the college website at http://www.hindscc.edu/Departments/abe_ged/test_dates.aspx.
