YWCA Adult Learners Write the GED Exams June 18/19


The GED Exams are Tuesday and Wednesday June 18/19 from 4:30 pm to 10 pm in Room 422A SIAST Kelsey Campus.

Students must present the original copy of the letter confirming your approval to write received from the Ministry and photo ID at the examination time. 
The exams are administered on a first come first served basis.  SIAST advises to arrive half an hour early to ensure a space.  The YWCA Saskatoon recommends arriving an hour early.

There will be approximately 7 ½ hours of testing over the two evenings.
The GED Exam is a five part, multiple choice and essay exam which tests:

  • Language Arts - Writing
  • Language Arts  - Reading
  • Social Studies
  • Science
  • Mathematics.          
The GED exam tests intellectual maturity as opposed to the ability to recall specific facts in a given subject area.  Many of the test questions measure the adult’s general ability to evaluate on the basis of given information, synthesize and then draw conclusions.

Good luck to all YWCA Saskatoon writers.
