ICCB offering free GED testing opportunities

Illinois Valley Community College’s Adult Education program has learned the Illinois Community College Board is offering free General Educational Development/Diploma (GED) testing now through Sept. 30.

“This month, the cost of the full battery GED test has increased from $120 to $140.  ICCB is offering free testing by using the promo code ILSAVE for first time test takers or ILRETAKE for one free attempt at retaking the GED. This option for free GED testing is a great opportunity for students especially those who struggle with finding the funding to take the test.  IVCC is here to help guide you through the process,” said Adult Education Director Sara Escatel.

For those without a high school diploma, the GED is an opportunity to certify high school aptitude, knowledge and skills. By taking the GED test and successfully passing a person is certified that they have met the requirements of the high school level skill development.

In October the test code will cover the $26 fee per test, but not the $10 test center fee.
