Preparing to take a High School Equivalency Test


Request Information

The Adult Learners' Training and Assistance (ALTA) Program at Luzerne County Community College offers FREE instruction to help adults 18 and older prepare to take a high school equivalency test (GED® or HiSet®). There is no charge for attending the classes, however, there is cost to take the actual tests. Although it is NOT a requirement to attend classes before taking the actual tests, it is recommended that you at least try a practice test to see if you are sufficiently prepared. ALTA provides the Official Practice Test for both GED® and HiSet® for program participants once they are enrolled in a class.

All prospective students are asked to attend an orientation which entails a discussion about what the ALTA Program and taking the GED® tests can and cannot do for them; Program requirements, area careers-in-demand, and goal setting. Students will also need to take a placement test before being scheduled for classes.
