If you didn't finish high school, we can help you prepare to take the GED (high school equivalency test). Skill Building (GED Preparation) classes are offered throughout the year in several locations in Washtenaw County. You can also take advantage of test coaching to help you prepare for the COMPASS test, which is required for WCC enrollment.

10. How do I know if I've passed?
The passing score on the GED Test is 2250 points total or an average of 450 points, with no score below 410. Each test is scored separately on a scale of 200 - 800. If you receive a score of less that 410 you will have to retest on that part. You are not able to retest until you have taken all five parts of the test.
