Scheduling Information

How to schedule to take the GED Tests
 

When planning to take the GED Tests the candidates must fill out the application (Attachment A) and follow the instructions for submitting a GED application.  If eligible to take the tests, they will be scheduled for one of the examination dates selected.  If seats are not available at the first or second choice, the candidates will be scheduled for the next available date at the location selected.  The GED Testing Office in Albany does not schedule test dates.  No Scheduling information can be obtained by calling the GED hotline.  Please contact your local test center for all scheduling issues.
 

Instructions for submitting GED applications:

  • Mail or bring the completed application and required attachments to the local testing center.  Do not send any applications to the GED Testing Office in Albany.
     
  • When registering by mail, please choose two different test dates and mail the application at least (8) weeks in advance of the desired test dates.
     
  • Applications received by the GED Testing Office in Albany for any test center will be returned to sender.  This will significantly delay the scheduling of testing dates.
How candidates will know when they are scheduled

When applications are received and candidates are scheduled, they will be sent or given an admission notice telling when and where they are scheduled to take the GED Tests. 
 

Make sure to keep the admission notice!  All candidates must bring it to the test!

If candidates have mailed in their application and they do not receive an admission notice two weeks prior to the first examination date that the candidate put on their application, they should call the local scheduling site.
