Beginning January 1,
2014, all GED testing centers will implement a totally new exam that must be
taken online at an approved testing center and that complies with Common Core
educational standards that were introduced by the National Governor’s
Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers and adopted across
the U.S. The new exam will incorporate more rigorous national standards for high
school-equivalent education addressing the needs of students to be college and
career-ready.
Clatsop Community
College (CCC) encourages all students currently in, or considering, the GED
testing process to complete testing by the December 6, 2013 deadline. After this
date, those with incomplete test scores will need to start the test process from
the beginning in the new system. Partial scores cannot be carried
forward.
CCC is continuing to
offer GED preparation classes and testing through December 6, 2013. To enroll in
preparation classes or to schedule testing, please contact George Heiner in
Columbia Hall Room 114 or call 503-338-2347.
