This post shows you all GED prep locations and testing centers in the Riverhead region. New York State uses the GED test for its high school equivalency testing program.
The GED test is entirely computer-based and offered at no cost to New York State residents.
The GED® (General Education Development) program is for adults who never completed their regular high school education.
This way, they are given another chance to earn a credential that is all over North America accepted in the same way as a regular high school diploma.
There are four independent, modular GED sub-exams that cover the academic subject areas of Language Arts (Writing and Reading covered in 1 subtest), Social Studies, Science, and Math.
In most states, the GED exam is available online (for qualifying test-takers) and at state-certified GED test centers. In New York, however, the GED exam is not (yet) available in an online format.
In the years 2014 through 2021, New York was using the TASC exam for its high school equivalency program but that wasn’t continued. If you already passed TASC sub-exams, don’t worry those scores are now invalid as you can transfer them to the new GED test!
