Pre-GED testing week

It might be the season of sale hopping, parties, and gift giving, but it is also the time of year when resolutions occur. This year why not make a resolution to help someone obtain stronger reading skills and possibly get a GED? Sounds good, huh? Well, it is.

The Emporia-Greensville Literacy Council would like to invite anyone who is thinking about the GED to come in take the pre-test. The test is free, about four and a half hours in length, and anyone who does not have a high school diploma is encouraged to try it. The results of this test are used to help determine what skills someone may or may not be lacking to pass the full-length exam. Most importantly, the results can not hurt you, and they are kept confidential. The Emporia-Greensville Literacy Council will also give a scholarship to the pre-tester with the highest score. This scholarship will cover the cost of the GED.

The GED pre-test dates are January 11 through 14, and the tests are in the Richardson Memorial Library. Test takers can feel free to stop by, take the exam in one sitting, or in multiple days, and times are flexible. If you have questions, or would like to set up a time to test, please contact Annessa Babic at annessababic@gmail.com or 804-922-7231. You can also call the library at 434-634-2539.
