• Testing is offered weekly. Most weeks it is during the day, 8:30-1:30, except for one week per month, when it is in the evening, 4:00-9:00. All testing is on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tuesday tests include Writing and Science; Wednesday tests include Math, Literature and Social Studies.

• The GED Test is made up of 5 sub-tests in the following areas: writing skills, social studies, science, literature & the arts, and mathematics. The entire battery of tests takes up to 10 hours (5 hours each day). Upon successful completion of the test, the candidate will receive a GED diploma issued by the state of Indiana.

• Candidates must be age 16 or older and be a resident of Indiana for 30 days or more.

• 16- and 17-year olds may take the exam if they have written proof of an exit interview from the school last attended, signed by the principal and the Superintendent of Schools (or, in the case of home-schooled teens, an exit interview signed by the home school administrator and the Superintendent of Schools), and can show written and signed proof of having passed a pre-GED test. (Click here for info on the Teen Learning Class).
  
  Note: Students under 19 years of age may do morning GED testing only, unless they have special permission from the Director to take an evening exam.

• All candidates must preregister in person and prepay $70.00 (check, money order, or exact cash) at the MCCSC Adult Education office. They must present three (3) pieces of valid identification at the time of registration, one of which must be a valid Indiana picture ID (such as an Indiana driver's license, a passport, or a matricular card with photo). Candidates must show this photo ID both days of testing in order to be admitted. If necessary, individual sub-tests can be retaken later at a cost of $15.00 each. A registered candidate who misses a test can reschedule for a later date at a cost of $5.00, although the $5 will be waived if he or she has a valid proof of unavoidable absence, such as a doctor's excuse.

• Test results are sent away to be scored. Scores are generally available in 2 to 4 weeks and are sent directly by U.S. Mail to the test takers at the address they provided, along with the GED diploma for those who passed. It is the GED recipient's responsibility to contact the Diploma Sender directly for transcript copies to be sent to potential employers and post-secondary school admissions offices. A copy of the transcript from the Diploma Sender is $15.00, and a GED verification letter is $5.00. The website address is https://www.diplomasender.com; the phone number is 317-215-7154; the email address is support@diplomasender.com. MCCSC Adult Education is no longer allowed to provide duplicate copies of GED transcripts.
