Library GED Test Preparation Enrollment Form

Prepare for Your GED with Free Library Support

Getting your GED opens doors to better jobs, college opportunities, and personal achievement—and your local library is here to help you succeed. This Library GED Test Preparation Enrollment Form makes it easy to sign up for free or low-cost GED prep classes, assess which subjects you need to focus on, build a study schedule that works for your life, and apply for exam fee assistance if needed.

Why libraries are the perfect place for GED preparation

Public libraries have long been community hubs for education and advancement. Many now offer dedicated GED preparation programs that include tutoring, study materials, practice tests, computer lab access, and connections to exam fee support. By enrolling through your library, you gain access to expert guidance, a supportive learning environment, and resources that would otherwise cost hundreds of dollars—all at no cost to you.

This form helps library staff understand your current skill level, schedule availability, and financial needs so they can match you with the right classes, study materials, and support services from day one.

What this form collects

Personal and contact information ensures the library can reach you with class schedules, study reminders, and resource updates. Educational background questions help instructors understand where you are in your learning journey and which subjects may need the most attention.

The subject assessment section asks you to self-evaluate your comfort level with the four main GED test areas: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. This helps program coordinators recommend targeted instruction and practice resources tailored to your strengths and gaps.

Study schedule preferences let you indicate which days and times work best for you—morning, afternoon, evening, or weekend sessions—so the library can place you in classes that fit your work, family, and transportation schedule. Many programs offer flexible options including in-person classes, online instruction, or hybrid formats to accommodate different learning styles and schedules.

The form also includes a section for exam fee assistance, allowing you to apply for financial support to cover the cost of official GED testing. Many libraries partner with community organizations, literacy councils, and state programs to subsidize or fully cover test fees for eligible students, removing a major barrier to completing your credential.

How Paperform makes enrollment accessible and efficient

Paperform's doc-style editor makes this enrollment form clear, welcoming, and easy to complete on any device—critical when your audience may be accessing the form from a library computer, phone, or home laptop. You can add your library's branding, photos of your GED classroom, and encouraging messaging that makes prospective students feel supported before they even hit submit.

Conditional logic shows or hides questions based on previous answers. For example, if someone indicates they need exam fee assistance, additional questions about income or employment status can appear automatically, keeping the form streamlined for everyone else. If a student selects "online classes preferred," the form can collect information about their home internet access and device availability.

Calculations can be used to tally availability hours across the week, helping staff quickly match students with the right class schedule. You can also use scoring logic to assess self-reported subject comfort levels and provide instant recommendations for which prep modules to start with.

Automate follow-up and program coordination with Stepper

Once a student submits this form, Stepper can automate the entire onboarding workflow. Send a welcome email with orientation details, add the student to your library management system or CRM, assign them to the appropriate class roster, and notify instructors of new enrollments—all without manual data entry.

Stepper can also trigger reminder emails before class starts, send study tips and resource links throughout the program, and follow up with students who haven't attended recent sessions to offer additional support. For exam fee assistance requests, Stepper can route applications to the right staff member or partner organization for review and approval, keeping the process moving quickly.
