GED Classes Poughkeepsie New York

This article shows all GED prep facilities and testing sites in the Poughkeepsie region. New York State is using the GED assessment for the purpose of high school equivalency testing.

The exam is for people who didn’t graduate high school and gives them a chance to earn an equivalent credential.

Over the years 2014-2021, New York offered the TASC exam for high school equivalency (HSE) testing, but this program was discontinued at the end of 2021. If you already reached passing scores on portions of the TASC, you can transfer these scores to the GED exam!

The GED exam measures knowledge at a level comparable to that of graduating high schoolers.

There are four GED (General Education Development) sub-exams that assess a student’s knowledge of these testing fields:

• Language Arts (Reading and Writing combined into one subtest)
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social studies

You can use our free GED online classes and practice tests to jumpstart your GED prep journey and discover if online learning fits you well. If so, continue with Onsego GED Prep, one of the most affordable, accredited online programs available, and get all set super fast!

If you think attending a physical classroom and learning under the guidance of a teacher might work better for you, contact one of the prep sites listed below.

GED testing is free in New York State, but only for state residents. The GED assessment is fully computerized. Paper-based testing is something of the past.

Testing must be done at a state-designated testing site. There’s no online GED test available in New York. You can use this website’s free practice tests for the GED exam to identify your weak and strong points.
