Information for Test Day

Be generous in allowing adequate travel and parking time. Be aware parking can be extremely time consuming. Late candidates are not admitted. You must be registered to take a test.

Every time you take a test you must bring the same two forms of ID you used to establish your eligibility to test. Copies of your ID’s are not acceptable. There are no exceptions. Also bring your copy of your signed GED registration form. You will be provided with pencils, pens, scratch paper, and a calculator.

Items not allowed at your Seat

• purses, backpacks, tote bags
• cameras, cell phones or other electronic devices
• food, gum, or beverages
• books, paper in any form, your personal pencils, pens, erasers
• jackets, coats, hats
• any other item that will not fit in your pocket

If you bring any of these items to the test, you will be required to place it at the side of the room. We cannot be responsible for these items, therefore, our recommendation is that, whenever possible, you do not bring the above items to the test. If your cell phone or other electronic device makes noise in the test room, you will be told to leave and you will be considered absent. See the absence policy for the consequences.

If you leave the test room for any reason before the end of the test time, you may not return to complete the test. You will lose one of your 3 chances to test during the calendar year. You will need to register again, and pay the $10 test fee. The only exception is when you have an official GEDTS-approved disability accommodation which allows breaks.
