The General Educational Development tests provide students the opportunity to earn a high school equivalency diploma. This credential is recognized as a key to employment opportunities, career advancement, and further education.
The test consists of five parts in the areas of writing skills, reading, social studies, science, and mathematics. The questions in each of these tests require you to use general knowledge and thinking skills. Few questions ask about facts, details, or definitions.
GED tests are administered at the main campus - 670 West Boylston Street, Worcester; at our TEC location - 751 Grove Street, Worcester; and at QCC Southbridge - 5 Optical Drive, Southbridge. Retests are scheduled once a month.
