Literacy Services of Wisconsin's GED program helps students prepare to earn a Certificate of General Educational Development.
In the GED Preparation program, students study reading, writing, math, social studies, and science in preparation for the five required examinations to earn a Certificate of General Educational Development.
In addition, we offer a pre-GED course of study for students not yet comfortable with the content of the GED Preparation program, but showing test scores in grade levels 6 to 8—with a goal to increase their skills to prepare for GED testing.
