GED Classes Louisville Kentucky

Posted here are all GED class sites and testing centers in the Louisville region. Kentucky uses the GED exam for the state’s high school equivalency testing program.

The GED exam is given at state-approved test centers and online.

The exam is for adults who never completed their high school education and offers them the chance to earn an equivalent degree.

You can prepare under the supervision of an instructor at one of the locations listed in this post. You can also use a good, accredited GED prep course to get optimally prepared.

This website’s free online GED classes and practice tests will let you discover if an online learning program fits your learning style. If that’s the case, we suggest you go ahead with Onsego GED Online Prep, an accredited, affordable program that GED Testing Service recognizes as “Totally GED Test Aligned.”

The GED (General Education Development) exam consists of four separate subtests in the fields of

• Language Arts
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

You can take these subtests one (or more) at a time. There’s no requirement to complete the entire GED battery in one take.

Across America, schools, government agencies, and employers accept the GED diploma in lieu of a high school degree.

Students who take the four GED subtests for the first time can do that at no cost through the KY Skills U program.

In the past, online GED testing was not possible. You needed to come to a state-approved GED testing center in person, but the arrival of a new online GED test has changed all that. Read more below.

Online GED Testing Introduced

Sitting for the Kentucky GED test online was, until recently, not possible. To earn your Kentucky GED credential, your personal appearance at one of Kentucky’s state-designated testing facilities. The introduction of an online, proctored test-taking option, however, did change this.

You may now deal with the GED subtest over the Internet using an online test-taking format where a proctor will help you with the online test-taking process and see if you do everything in line with the rules. To learn more, read this article: ‘The online proctored GED test introduced.’
