The GED test will be offered for free in Kentucky starting May 15 through July 31, according to a press release.
Starting Jan. 1, 2014, the cost of the GED test is expected to double from $60 to $120, according to Adult Education and Literacy Director Jerry Shaw. Anyone who has started the GED process needs to finish by Dec. 31, 2013, or students will lose all their previous test scores.
The new computer-based test, set to be instituted in January 2014, will include higher degrees of math and more short essays, according to Shaw.
