High School Equivalency (GED® Test)
Details
Rockland BOCES provides preparation classes for the General Educational Development Test (GED® Test), which has replaced the TASC® exam as a pathway to a high school equivalency diploma. The GED® Test assesses four subject areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
Preparation classes are free to students ages 21 and older who have not earned a U.S. high school diploma or equivalency. Classes are held mornings or evenings in Nyack and evenings in Spring Valley.
Students must follow the below enrollment steps and complete assessments to determine competency levels in reading and mathematics before entering the program. Curriculum is then tailored to their needs.
Classes are offered in the morning and evening at our Nyack and at the evening at our Spring Valley location.
