Yukon CAEC Test

Canadian GED Has Become CAEC

The Canadian GED test was replaced by the CAEC (Canadian Adult Education Credential) on May 3, 2024. Read more here. Yukon, British Columbia, Quebec, and Nunavut, however, have not (yet) implemented the CAEC exam.

In Yukon, the full five-test Canadian CAEC exam, when and if it replaces the GED test, will cost $150.00, or $30.00 per individual subject test if the price remains the same as for the GED test.

The five CAEC modules (independent, separate sub-exams), like the GED exam, are covering the academic fields of Language Arts Writing, Language Arts Reading, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies.

To be successful on the CAEC test, proper preparation is key, and the best way to get ready fast is by signing up for Onsego’s Canadian online CAEC classes. 

In Yukon, you’ll have to be 18 years old if you want to write the GED or CAEC test, but 17-year-old testers may qualify as well if they meet some additional strict requirements and provide additional documentation. Please see your regional GED/CAEC test center for details.

More information about the CEAC test can be found <- here.

Is Yukon Residency Required?

Yes, in Yukon, like in all Canadian provinces and territories, residency is required, and taking the CAEC exam in a different jurisdiction is not possible. 

In Yukon, you don’t need to prepare for the GED or CAEC exam with an adult education program, and there’s also no requirement to first attain sufficient scores on the official practice test before they allow you to write the GED or CAEC test.

The Yukon CAEC exam is offered both on paper and on a computer, but whereas other provinces allow combinations of both options, that’s not the case in Yukon. Once you choose one option, you must use that option throughout the five subtests.

For many CAEC applicants, Mathematics is the most challenging of the five sub-exams. If you sign up for the Onsego prep course, you’ll get an interesting Calculator course at no extra cost.

CAEC Calculator

If you learn how to use the CAEC calculator efficiently, you’ll be able to solve just about every math problem easily. Some basic math knowledge is always required, but if you know how to use the calculator efficiently, the machine will do the work for you! That’s what the Onsego Calculator Course is all about.

Some students benefit more from attending a traditional class in a community college or an adult education center, but if you are self-disciplined, learning with a good online GED or CAEC prep course has many advantages.

Online CAEC Preparation

Online learning comes with so many benefits. There’s a lot of flexibility as you can choose when and where you will study. You can learn in a library, at home, in a library, or at all public places that offer Wi-Fi Internet access.

The GED and CAEC exams are for persons who have never completed their high school curriculum. They offer them the opportunity to prove that they command skills and knowledge at a level comparable to that of graduating high schoolers.

Across North America, the Canadian Adult Education Credential is recognized and accepted in the same way as a regular high school or GED diploma by practically all employers, institutions of higher learning, and government agencies. 

Often, holding a high school, GED, or CAEC diploma is a prerequisite for trades and technical programs and for employment. All Canadian provinces and territories recognize that if students have passed the CAEC exam, they have demonstrated that they have mastered skills and knowledge at a level equivalent to those of high school graduates.

Please note that GED and CAEC testing is no longer offered at Yukon University’s Testing Centre in Whitehorse.
