GEX 0164D - High School Equivalency Science (Face-to-Face)

The purpose of the GED® Integrated Preparation: High School Equivalency programs is to prepare students to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the Official GED® Tests and be awarded a state of Florida High School Diploma. Integrated programs accelerate students’ progress and make the basic skills component more relevant to their interests and career goals. This model has been shown to help adult learners obtain postsecondary certificates and achieve basic skill gains more quickly than when they are enrolled in traditional adult education programs.

This is a non-credit course designed to provide instruction for the science portion of the GED® test, which offers the opportunity to earn a high school equivalency degree. The three major topics are life science, physical science, and earth and space science.
