A person must be 18 years old or older and out of high school to take the GED exam. A valid driver's license or other approved identification is required. The cost of testing is $160 for the complete battery of test (4) or $40 per section.
Sixteen and seventeen year olds must enroll in an adult education program to apply for under-age testing.

Transition to College
Research shows that one (1) year of college-level credit, plus a credential, makes the biggest difference or “tipping point” in the earnings after leaving college. High school dropouts earn $4,900 less than a high school graduate, $8,800 less than someone with a Technical Certificate and $12,200 less than someone with an Associate’s degree. The Adult Education Division Office of the Transition Specialists works to move our graduates into postsecondary education or training for family-sustaining employment and career advancement. Call today at (478) 289-2248.
