GED Official Test

  • There are five tests in the GED battery. All five GED testing appointments will be made at the time of registration. Be ready to choose all five of your testing dates and times when you come to register. Test session appointments are usually two to three weeks after you register.

  • After a 30-day waiting period, you may be permitted to retest on the entire battery or on any one, two, three or four of the individual sections in the battery. However, you must complete all five of the subject sections of the GED test before you will be permitted to begin any retesting.
