GED registration sessions are held most Mondays at 4:00 pm, the week prior to the testing week.  All those interested in taking the GED exam MUST participate in this required pre-registration.  In compliance with GED/ETS regulations, students must complete enrollment paperwork, pay the GED fee of $135.00, and complete the demographic portion of the answer documents in advance of the exam.  The testing fee of $135.00 must be paid in either exact amount of cash, money order or check, credit cards are not accepted.  Students MUST also present a valid Government issued ID, such as driver's license or passport, in order to participate in the registration and testing process.

 

 

All students who complete 15 hours of preparation time through Tam Adult School, are eligible to receive a $35.00 discount on the GED exam!

 

 

There are no more than 15 students permitted in each testing administration.  There is one GED examiner and proctor in the exam room during testing.  GED testing is conducted over 2 days to accommodate the 7.5 hours of testing time.  Students may choose to take the exam in it's entirety over two days, or select just the test subjects they feel prepared to take.  TAS advises that all students take our free prepartory classes prior to taking the exam.

 

 

Students may re-take the exam or specific test no more than 2 times per year.  Students must pass each of the five tests (Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Mathematics & Science) with a minimum score of 410 per section AND an average score no lower then 450.

 

 

Students have access to their scores online within a week of taking the exam.  When scores become available to staff at Tam Adult School, a score report is printed and mailed to each student.  Students who take the GED and do not pass, are strongly advised to participate in GED prep classes, before attempting to take the test again.
