What to bring to the testing session

When you come to write your tests, you must bring an original photo identification with your signature, for example, a driver’s licence, photo health card, or passport.

All supplies, such as paper, pencils, pens, and calculator (Casio fx-260) will be provided at the testing session. You will NOT be permitted to use any other materials such as reference books, dictionaries, a slide rule, or your own personal calculator when writing the tests.

Testing Procedure

You are expected to take all five tests the first time you write the GED Tests.

You will be asked to arrive half an hour before you write your first test in order to present your identification and to register.

A fifteen-minute break is scheduled between tests. You will also have a one-hour lunch break. Additional time is scheduled for giving instructions before each test begins.

Most questions on the GED Tests are multiple choice with five possible answers given. You are required to mark a space in pencil on an answer sheet to show which answer is best for each question. For the Language Arts: Writing Test you will be required to write an essay, and for the Mathematics Test you will be required to use grids.
