In this example, both students would need to retake some or all of the GED Test. Tom would have to retake Math and get at least a 40 on it. Suzie passed all parts of the test, but needs 20 more points overall to get her GED diploma. She can retake as many parts as she chooses in order to gain points to pass.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO RETEST?
It is recommended that the examinee prepare for re-testing by studying at an adult education program or with a certified teacher. The examinee will receive a re-test letter that must be presented at the time of registration. Without a re-test letter the waiting period to re-test is 6 months.
Results of the GED Test taken at other test centers must be sent to NHC Community Education by mail. Re-takes cannot be taken until the test report is received from the forwarding test center.
WHAT IS THE COST OF THE TEST?
Full Test (3 -5 parts):
$80.00
Partial Test (1- 2 parts):
$30.00
WHEN & WHERE IS THE TEST GIVEN?
Weekend testing is held on Friday or Thursday night from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. & Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the main campus of North Harris College.
Check current Community Education Schedule for exact dates or the back of this brochure.
HOW CAN I REGISTER FOR THE TEST?
You must register in person for the at least a week in advance of the test date. There are registration sites at the Parkway & Carver centers, as well as the Academic Building at the main North Harris campus. To register you will need:
A photograph ID card. Driver's licenses, passports, military, or other form of GOVERNMENT ID. Which shows name, address, date of birth, signature, and photograph.
Social Security Card
Cash, check, money order or Visa, Master Card or Discover Card for payment.
17 year olds MUST have written parental permission and a copy of high school withdrawal form. 16 year olds can test only IF they have a court order requiring them to test NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
WHAT IS TEST DAY LIKE?
Bring with you on both test days:
Texas Driver's License or Texas ID card
Social Security Card
NO PROPER ID, NO ADMISSION!! BE ON TIME!!
We will not be able to admit latecomers since this interrupts the concentration of examines that are already working on the tests.
If you register for the tests, but are not able to take them, you must notify the Community Education Office in advance in order to reschedule to another test date. A test can only be rescheduled ONE time. If you simply do not show up, you will have to re-register and pay the entire test fee again.
