How do I apply to take THE GED tests?
You may complete an official application form, as prescribed by the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education Office of Adult Literacy at your local GED Testing Center.
Residency: You do not need to be a resident of Georgia to be eligible to take the GED tests. You must, however, be a resident of Georgia to receive the $500 HOPE voucher.

What is the new scoring system?
Tests will now be scored from 200 to 800 points. A minimum standard score of 410 is necessary to pass each individual exam, and an average standard score of 450 is required to pass the full battery.
What are the new requirements for retesting?
If the average standard score is 430 or better, the applicant may retake the test at any time, but remedial study is recommended. If the average standard score is 400-429, a wait of three months or evidence of remedial study is necessary before retesting.
If the applicant's average standard score falls below 400, a wait of six months, or evidence of remedial study is necessary before retesting. If you retest at a center other than your original testing site, you must obtain a release from the original Chief Examiner.
What fees will I be charged?
You will be charged a standard fee for taking the GED tests. Other fees are charged for retests.
