This post contains a full listing of GED prep class sites and testing locations in the Paducah area. If you have never completed your high school education, the GED (General Education Development) credential is a great option.
You can sit for the Kentucky GED test at state-approved test centers and in an online format.
The GED® diploma is, across America, accepted just like a standard high school diploma.
The exam includes four separate subtests in Math, Social Studies, Science, and Literacy.
The GED exam will measure your proficiency at a level that compares to the knowledge level of graduating HS seniors.
You can take one of the four GED subtests (modules) at a time. There’s no need to complete the four tests in one take.
First-time test-takers can sit for the four GED subtests at no cost, thanks to the Kentucky Skills U program.
Online GED classes- Simple, Fast & Easy.

In the past, the GED exam needed to be taken entirely on a computer and was not available over the Internet. Well, that has now changed.

Kentucky GED Practice TestIntroducing An Online GED testing option
Until recently, sitting for the GED test via the Internet was no option. To secure your Kentucky GED diploma, you had to come to a state-designated GED testing site and sit for the four subtests in person. But now, the online GED testing option has been introduced, so that has changed.
Now, you also have the chance to take the four GED subtests in a new online format. An online proctor will be checking if everything happens in line with the regulations. Check out the article ‘The Online GED Test’ if you want to learn more.
