- Be a resident of the state of Indiana for a minimum of 30 days immediately preceding the day of testing
- Be at least 18 years of age; or
- At least 16 years of age, if a superintendent recommends that the individual participate in the testing program
Test-takers can go to www.gedcomputer.com to register, schedule appointments and pay for their exams. There are five content areas to the exam. Test-takers may purchase the exam by area for $24 each, or purchase the exam in its entirety for $120. The GED assessment, taken in its entirety, takes approximately seven hours and measures high school equivalency.
According to Vinita Williams, Certification Center coordinator, those service organizations, churches and individuals interested in sponsoring test-takers can still do so. “Local supporters can purchase vouchers for test-takers through the Pearson VUE voucher store. Sponsors can purchase a multi-use voucher that can be used for all five areas of the exam, or a single-use voucher that can be used for one content area,” said Williams. “Helping students accomplish this achievement is so meaningful. For those who don’t have a high school diploma, earning a GED can literally be life changing.” To purchase vouchers, sponsors can go to www.personvue.com/vouchers.
