With the introduction of a new GED test earlier this year, the Everest Institute Dearborn campus has announced that its GED® Advantage program has been updated to prepare students for the latest version of the high school equivalency exam.
The new GED test has more questions on critical thinking; includes fewer multiple-choice questions and modified subject categories. And for the first time, it requires the student to take the test on a computer.
“Based on these changes, it’s never been more critical to prepare correctly and more thoroughly for those planning to take and pass the GED,” said Georgianna Bailey, president of the Dearborn campus of Everest Institute. “Over the years, we have opened the doors of educational and economic opportunity by helping people receive their GEDs. We’re proud to continue to provide students with the support they need to be successful when taking the new test.”

According to the GED Testing Service, 40 million adults in the United States lack a high school diploma or GED test credential. Adults without a high school diploma face tremendous obstacles to achieving their economic potential. On average, their unemployment rates are higher and their wages lower than those with a GED credential or high school diploma. Their access to postsecondary education and training, a requirement for many jobs in today’s competitive economy, is also severely restricted.
Everest GED Advantage program is open to the public and provides tutoring, study materials, a practice test and exam fees all at no cost to the student. There is also no obligation to enroll in any Everest degree or diploma program.
