OVERVIEW of the COURSE
Legacy 5’s GED Preparation Course is designed to inform adults about the GED Tests and assist them in assessing their likelihood of success on the Tests.
It will provide them with specific information about the Tests and with the opportunity to write all five of the Official Practice Tests: Language Arts
Reading, Language Arts Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. Adults receive feedback with each
test written. Finally, after all the Tests are scored, students participate in individual discussion sessions with the instructor to determine their next
step toward upgrading their education.
This course will direct adults to one of three options: writing the GED Tests, refreshing their skills by self-study and writing at a later date, or
seeking academic upgrading.

UNIQUE FEATURES of the COURSE
This course is designed for those adults who have not completed high school, but who have continued to learn through life and work experiences. It is
taught by adult educators who recognize that adults come to the GED classes with considerable and varied prior learning experiences. This prior experience
is not only a valuable and reliable resource, but also provides the framework of reference, which screens new information. The course is taught in an open
and inviting manner to encourage discussion and academic success.
The course is generally offered on company premises so that classes can be offered in an environment familiar to the adults, thereby alleviating the
stress some GED candidates encounter when returning to school.

Canadian GED Preparation. It is Canada's newest GED book The Complete Canadian GED Preparation Book published by Nelson
Education Limited (ISBN 0-7747-1631-2) . Unlike other GED preparation books, it is the only book that has been designed for the new
Canadian GED Tests.
In our GED Mathematics classes we will be using the Casio f/x 260 Solar Calculator, the same calculator
that is used for the Official GED Mathematics Test. If you are considering purchasing a calculator make certain it is
Casio f/x 260 Solar Calculator as it is the only calculator designed for the Official GED Mathematics + Test. This calculator is available
at Radio Shack, Staples, Business Depot, Zellers and similar stores.
If you are having difficulties with the Mathematics questions requiring the use of the Casio f/x 260 Solar Calculator you
might wish considering the purchase of Steck-Vaughn’s GED Calculator booklet. This 48 page booklet covers the fundamental concepts and skills measured
by the calculator section of the Official GED Mathematics Test. You can order it in class or by email/phone. For students registered in one of our
classes the cost is $ 8.00 including GST, for others it is $ 10.00 plus shipping and applicable taxes.
If you had difficulty with the GED Writing Test, and are looking for an effective software program to help you in
mastering the fundamentals of Canadian Edited English, we invite you to review our EASY Writer software.
