The GED Test will be given at Gatesville High School, March 8 and 9 in Room 22.

You must register to take the test, Wednesday, March 2, in Room 22 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Bring with you, your Texas Drivers License or State or Federal Photo ID, Social Security card, and $65.00. The candidate will also need to bring the ID to the test. The registration will take about 30 minutes to an hour. If the candidate is 17, he/she needs to bring a guardian to register and also have withdrawal papers from the last school attended.

If the candidate failed the test between 2002 and 2010 and needs to retake one or more parts, each part costs $10.00 and it must have been six months since the test was taken or have a letter from the instructor saying that the candidate is ready to take the test.

Bring a copy of any previous test scores. For anyone under 18 there are other qualifications also.

Testing will begin at 5:15 p.m. on both March 8 and 9. The candidate must attend both nights to complete the test.

Bring ID all three nights. It usually takes about 4 hours each night for testing.

For the new tester, there is one part of the registration that needs to be done on-line at www.utk16.org/scoring (phone help line: 512-475-9400, if needed). This is the first step toward testing. On the home page, the candidate will find a large link entitled "GED TESTERS: click here for the GED Demographic Form" in bold red text. Once testers click this link, they will find the clear, step by step instructions. To take the test in Gatesville, be sure to use 0750 for the center number. The rest of the registration and paying to take the test must be done at GHS.

Please share this information with anyone that you think might be interested in taking the test. If there are other questions, please call Barbara Huntley at 254-865-8281 or 254-856-2460.
