GED Preparation

The GED review course will help students develop the math, writing, reading and critical thinking skills needed to pass the GED exam and earn a Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency (TxCHSE). Courses run year-round in eight-week sessions. 

The preparation course covers all four GED exam subject areas: mathematics, language arts, social studies, and science with a strong emphasis on math and writing skills. Palo Alto College provides students with practice tests, tips on time management, and study skills. Our testing center offers the official GED exams.

The program is combined with a support system that is designed to help students continue their education and earn a certificate or associate degree. We offer flexible schedules with both morning and evening class times, affordable prices, full preparation in English or Spanish, and highly qualified instructors.

The first step to enrolling in the program is completing an interest survey. Just click the “Get Started” link below!
