GED Classes

When students register for GED classes, they are given a math and reading assessment to determine their class level. The three levels include Basic Skills, Pre-GED, and GED. These classes teach essential skills needed to succeed in the GED program. The highest-level GED class prepares students to pass the four official GED tests at a testing center. These tests include Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies.

GED classes are taught at 1 Social St in Woonsocket RI, the Woonsocket Public Library, and the Cumberland Public Library. We offer morning, afternoon, and evening classes.

Classes have both online and in-person options. For the online classes, teachers post weekly assignments on a Google Classroom webpage and give students feedback on submitted assignments. Video classes discuss new and previously assigned material. Students schedule individual video chats with teachers when they would like extra help.

Frequently Asked Questions About GEDs

Where can I take the GED test?

We are not a testing center. Our classes prepare you to pass the GED tests. You can go to RIRAL or CCRI to take the 4 tests on a computer. The tests you have to pass are Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. You can take these one at a time. Take the online practice tests on GED.com if you want to see if you are ready for the official tests.

How much does it cost?

Our classes are free, but each GED test costs $30. If you can prove financial hardship (i.e. food stamps), you can apply for vouchers at RIRAL to take the tests for free. RIRAL’s # is 401-762-3841.

What do I need to take the test?

You will need a driver’s license or official state ID. If you are applying for a voucher, you must have proof of a passing score on each practice test on GED.com. Each practice test costs $6, but if you come to our building, you may take them for free.

Two days per week.

What is the online class like?

We use the Google Classroom webpage to post weekly assignments. You are expected to attend the weekly video lesson for both Math and the other subjects. So you will have 2 lessons per week. You will need a gmail account, a computer, and internet to participate in the online class.   

How long will it take to get my GED?

That depends on the class level you are in. The class levels will be determined based on your math and reading tests when you enroll. If you get a high score on these, you can try the GED practice tests to see if you are ready for the official tests.
