LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PREPARE FOR THE GED?
The
answer varies with each adult. It
depends on how much material you need to learn, how quickly you learn
and how much time you can put into your studies.
Adults have many demands on their time, so our program can work
with people who only have a few hours a week to spend on their
studies. One thing is
definite, the more time you put in, the faster you reach your goal.
The program is designed so that you can work at home and/or in
addition to regular classes. IS
