GED TESTING

Northland offers GED testing on a regular basis to applicants who qualify.

REQUIREMENTS FOR TESTING

  1. Pre-register for available testing dates. (New procedures no longer permit walk-ins to take the exam.) Test takers must be in their seats by 7:30 a.m. promptly, before testing begins. Completing the five-part exam takes the entire day, and seating for the exam is limited to 18 persons per test date.
  2. Pre-pay for the test at any NPC Campus or Center location. The test fee is $60, with each re-test $12. Cash or money order are the accepted forms of payment. Refunds are not given for no-shows--valid cancellations must be received 48 hours before test time.
  3. Meet the minimum age requirement of 16. 16-18 year olds must submit both a NOTARIZED parental consent form and an official withdrawal letter from the last school attended. (Home-schooled candidates must provide an official Notice of Withdrawal, Form ADE 41-123, from the County School Superintendent's Office.
