In striving to provide more adult learners throughout the state with high school credentials, Pensacola State College is partnering with GED Testing Service to offer the GED test on computer. Registration and scheduling will be available to candidates on Monday, July 16, 2012 and testing will begin on Monday, July 30, 2012.
Registering, scheduling and testing on computer will provide a new experience and new benefits for GED test-takers. These new features will improve the GED testing program which is a gateway for adults to find jobs or better paying jobs, enter the workforce or college training programs, and better support themselves and their families.
Randy Trask, GED Testing Service’s president and CEO said, “Adult learners are often times juggling jobs, families, study time and transportation issues. GED testing on computer will be a significant step to make the scheduling and testing experience easier, more flexible and faster for adult learners across the state and eventually the country. We are so pleased that Pensacola State College is our partner in this important endeavor.”
The GED test on computer is the same test currently offered on paper. Its accompanying systems will provide an array of new benefits for both the testing center and GED test-takers. Some of the initial benefits include:
- One-stop online registration and rescheduling available 24/7
- Flexible testing appointments for test-takers
- Instant test scores on 4 of 5 content areas
- An introduction of basic keyboarding and computer skills
- Enhanced test security
“Pensacola State College is proud to lead the way on GED testing on computer. Adding the new option for adult learners will provide immediate and long-term benefits,” says Kathryn Quillen, acting director of testing and assessment at Pensacola State College. “From hospitals to construction sites, basic technology- including computer use and keyboarding skills- are common in the workplace today. Test-takers can now demonstrate mastery of these basic technology skills through the GED test on computer, learn immediately of their results, and be better prepared to enter the workplace.”
