With 36 percent of the nation’s Hispanic students between 18 and 24 never having earned a high school diploma (as compared to eight percent of White and 16 percent of Black students), the General Education Development (GED) Certificate is truly a second chance for the many Spanish speakers who dropped out of school.

According to the Joint Economic Committee, those with high school degrees or GEDs earn about $260,000 more over their lifetimes than those without degrees, and, are also less likely to suffer unemployment, under-employment, or be on welfare,.

“The GED exam is now being given in Spanish, so those students with poor English language skills can now earn their certificates and improve their lives,” says Jennifer Gilbert, Education Publisher at InterLingua Publishing.

To help those who are planning to take the GED exam in Spanish, InterLingua has translated and published on CD-ROMs the excellent GED preparatory series developed by Thomson Peterson’s, one of the world’s largest educational publishers.

Presented in both English and Spanish on mirror image pages, the five CD-ROM set is the most extensive preparation tool available and offers a combination of:

• Detailed explanations written specifically for students who have not opened a textbook in years
• Numerous illustrations, charts, and tables
• Exercises and drills to reinforce learning
• A diagnostic pre-test, and,
• Full-length practice tests

Written by teachers who have experience working with GED candidates, and translated by bilingual teachers, the MASTER THE GED (DOMINE EL GED) series not only helps students with Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading and Writing skills, but it also helps students understand how to take the tests and use the tools, such as calculators, that they’re allowed to bring into the exam room.

The full set of CD-ROMs (or downloads) can be purchased for $129.95 and the individual subject matter CD-ROMs (or downloads) can be purchased for $29.95 each. For more information or to order, customers can go to InterLingua’s website at: www.SpanishGED.org.
