Support for Obtaining Your CAEC
If you are considering taking the CAEC tests, it's important to assess your personal learning style and determine the level of preparation that is right for you. Some factors to consider include your current knowledge of the subject areas covered on the test, your ability to study independently, and your availability to attend classes or work with a tutor.
CAEC Preparation Centres can be a great resource for students looking to increase their chances of success on the CAEC tests. These centres offer a variety of options such as tutoring, classes, or online learning programs to help students prepare for the tests. It's important to research different centres and compare the costs and quality of instruction before making a decision.
Whether you choose to prepare intensively or simply brush up on a few subject areas, remember that passing the CAEC tests requires dedication and effort. With the right tools and resources, you can feel confident and well-prepared to tackle the exams and achieve your academic goals.
​
Anyone who has passed some GED tests will be able to have those tests count toward their CAEC for three years, up to May 2027.
