GED®
According to Illinois School Code,
the responsibility of administering the General Educational Development
(GED®) Testing Program is entrusted to the Regional
Superintendent's Office. This is a series of five (5) tests covering Social
Studies, Science, Language Arts (writing), Language Arts (reading) and Math,
plus the
Illinois
and United States Constitutions. Passing this series of tests entitles
registrants (17 years of age or older without a high school diploma) to
receive a high school equivalency certificate.
We are also custodians of
GED® records for individuals who tested in Will County
as well as Joliet Job corps and all Will County Correctional Centers.

IN PERSON. WE ARE LOCATED AT:
702 W. MAPLE ST.
NEW LENOX, IL 60451
