Why the GED?

Earning a GED is a way to earn a secondary school credential without graduating from a traditional high school. The GED is a 7 ½ hour exam split into 4 sections that measure knowledge and skills that are expected of high school graduates. South Carolina does not require that GED candidates take a prep course before sitting down to take the tests. However, enrolling in a preparatory course can help familiarize you with what is on the test, the types of questions you will be asked, and the computer format used on the GED tests. Additionally, a prep course might help increase your scores!

In Lexington One Adult Education GED Prep classes, we build on the skills you already have, work on the skills that need improvement, and teach test-taking skills to alleviate anxieties you may have. More importantly, we are there to cheer you on from day one and here to help however we can.

Registration is appointment only. Call (803) 821-2950 to schedule your appointment!
