GED Classes The Bronx, New York City

This is an overview of all GED prep locations and test centers in The Bronx, New York. New York State used the TASC exam for its high school equivalency testing program from 2014 until December 2021, but this program was discontinued.

The GED assessment gives persons who didn’t finish high school the chance to obtain an equivalent degree. If you passed portions of the TASC exam, your scores are also good for your GED®!

Our website offers a number of free GED online classes and practice to help you start your GED prep and see if online learning is right for you. If it is, continue with Onsego GED Prep, an accredited, affordable program.

The GED (General Education Development) test contains four separate subtests that measure knowledge of

• Language Arts (Writing and Reading in one exam)
• Social Studies
• Science
• Math

The GED program Bronx NY is entirely computerized. Paper-based testing is a thing of the past, and this makes sense since most jobs require applicants to command at least basic computer skills.

The GED exam is scored on a 100-200 scale, and the passing score on each of the four subtests is 145.

The GED test is available at official testing sites and in an online proctored (O.P.) format, though this last option is not (yet) available in New York State.

The New York State high school equivalency test is free for state residents. The state picks up the tab. Our GED practice tests are free as well, so check your knowledge with this free support.

Most prep classes are offered at no cost as well. If you wonder where are free GED classes near me, we got it all covered. This post lists all prep locations in the Bronx.
