GED Classes Tacoma Washington

In this article, we list all GED Classes in Tacoma, Washington, and the surrounding area. Testing sites are also included.

Washington State is using the computer-based GED exam for high school equivalency testing. The exam is available online and at certified GED test centers.

GED testing gives adults who never graduated from high school the chance to earn an equivalent credential.

Our website, BestGEDClasses, offers free GED online classes that will help you start out on the GED prep track. This free support also allows you to figure out risk-free whether online learning suits you well.

If it does, we recommend you proceed with Onsego GED Prep, an affordable program designated by GED Testing Service as “fully GED test-compliant.”

In earlier times, you were required to show up at a state-approved testing site and take the four subtests in person. Well, this has changed with the advent of the online GED test. For more information, check the bottom of this post.

What’s on the GED Test

The GED exam has four subtests that can be taken separately and in your desired order; there is no requirement to take the entire GED battery in one session.

These subtests (independent, modular tests) measure knowledge in these academic fields:

• Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social Studies

The Online GED Test

In earlier days, there was never the option to sit for the four GED modules over the Internet. If you were looking to earn your GED diploma in Washington State, you were always required to show up in person at an official, state-recognized GED testing center.

This has changed, however, with the introduction of an online option to take the GED exam. If you qualify for the online GED testing option and decide to do that, you’ll see an online proctor who monitors your testing activities and checks if you do it all in line with the rules. For more detailed information, go to ‘Introducing the online GED test.’

When you’re thinking about taking the online GED test, be aware that online testing requires that you first reach passing results on a GED Ready practice test for each of the four GED sub-exams. So, that’s four GED Ready practice tests overall, setting you back an additional $32 (each practice test is $7.99).

Students learning for their GED with an Onsego Advantage Plan are lucky! Since all Onsego Advantage Plans include four vouchers for the GED Ready test, they don’t need to buy any of these practice tests. That’s an incredible $32 value bonus, don’t you agree?
