Prepare for GED Tests In Person

You may wonder if you need some help preparing for the GED Tests. If you feel you may, contact an adult education resource center in your area and staff members can help you decide whether you will need to study for all the tests, or whether you should spend time brushing up on just a few areas.

Four Ways to Locate Instructional Sites and Adult Education Resource Centers Near You

1. Visit GED Testing Service's GED Preparation Contacts by State and call, write or email the contact in your state who can help you find preparation programs near you.
2. Search by zip code for the GED Testing Center nearest you and ask for assistance.
3. Visit America's Literacy Directory at the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) web site. Simply enter your zip code to receive a customized listing of nearby programs and locations. The U.S. government also operates a toll-free information number through NIFL at (800) 828-8133.
4. Look in your local telephone book's yellow pages under "schools." Check the listings for libraries, literacy programs, high schools, and community colleges in your area as well. Or look in your local government's blue pages to find the office responsible for adult education in your community. Programs offered by schools and colleges may be listed under "adult education," "continuing education," or "GED." You can also call the general information number listed for high schools, colleges, or your board of education, and ask for information about GED classes.

For further assistance, call the GED Testing Service's toll-free number, (800) 62 MY GED [(800) 626-9433], and we can refer you to preparation classes and testing centers in your local area.
