There are four subject areas that students will be tested in: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reasoning through Language Arts. Once the student is eligible to take the GED Ready Official Practice Tests, they must score at least a 145 on the practice test to be eligible to take the Official GED Test in that subject area.  If a student is under the age of 18, they must meet additional requirements in order to be approved for testing (150 or higher on at least two of the GED Ready, 40+ hours of enrollment along with TABE 11/12 requirements). 

The Pathway to Success Adult Education Program is available to students at all DJJ facilities.  Students interested in being a part of this program must be approved and placed by the high school counselor.  A test administrator from the assigned technical college will come the facility to administer the test. Results are usually received within two days.
