GED Classes Providence, Rhode Island

Posted here are all GED prep class locations and test centers in the Providence region. Rhode Island uses the GED exam for high school equivalency testing.

The exam can be taken online or at an official Rhode Island GED test center.

The GED test is designed for people who, for some reason, never finished high school. This way, they have the opportunity to acquire a credential that is equivalent to a common HS diploma.

GED testing takes place at a level that compares to that of graduating high school students.

Some students do better when guided by a teacher at one of the facilities listed in this post, while other students prefer to learn independently with a good online program.

BestGEDClasses offers free online GED classes so you can determine if online learning is the right fit for you. If that’s the case, just go ahead with Onsego’s Online GED Prep Course, a full-scope program that GED Test Service qualifies as “Entirely In Line With The GED Exam.”

The GED exam consists of four subtests (separate modules) measuring knowledge of:

• English Language
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

You may take one or more of the four GED modules at a time. Completion in one take is not needed.

The Rhode Island GED exam costs $144 ($36 per individual test), but the state passed a bill that subsidizes the cost for low-income residents. Online testing also costs $36 per subject test.

For more information about the newly launched online GED testing option, check below at the bottom of this page.

Introducing the Online GED Exam

Until recently, taking the GED exam via the Internet was never an option. If you were looking to earn your GED diploma, you had to appear in person at an official Rhode Island testing center.

Well, this has finally changed as we saw the launch of a new online proctored option to sit for the GED exam. If you want to learn more about this great new development, visit this page -> ‘Welcoming the online GED test.’
