GED TESTING

GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT DIPLOMA (GED)

The General Education Development Test (GED) is offered only to persons who

have not graduated from an accredited high school or received a high school

equivalency certificate or diploma, are not currently enrolled in a regular high

school and are at least 16 years of age who are beyond the age of compulsory

high school attendance under state law. The GED is made up of five sections,

including writing, mathematics, social studies, science and literature. The

complete battery costs $65 or $13 for each portion of the exam taken. Each

retest is $13.

Registration and Orientation is required in advance before an individual can take

the GED Test. Day and evening sessions are available. During orientation you

will view a 20 calculator video, complete state required testing forms and select

and pay for your GED exams. Payment can be made with either cash or money

order. A current valid, government issued photo is required for registration.

Candidates approved for Underage testing need to bring their approval letter;

candidates who are 18 (including home school participants) must bring official

withdrawal form from last high school attended or a letter signed by the

superintendent/designee verifying completion or withdrawal from home study

program.

Upon successful completion of the GED you will receive, in the mail, your

official GED diploma and transcript. Also, you will receive a HOPE voucher for

$500 that may be used to pursue further education at any Georgia accredited

technical college or university.
