Process for GED® testing:

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is an official GED® testing center. Candidates must complete demographics information and verify eligibility to test before permission is granted to schedule GED® tests. Pre-registration and advance payments are required. Successful completion of the GED® tests qualifies an individual for a state of Georgia General Educational Development (GED®) credential. GED® credentials are accepted by industry, government, licensing boards, technical colleges, and employers as the equivalent to a high school education. For GED® testing information visit the Adult Education Office or GED® testing official on campus.

The GED can also be taken at home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students taking the GED at home must have a computer (no tablets or phones are allowed), a webcam, and a reliable internet connection. For more information on taking the GED at home, please visit the Online GED Test website.

The GED® test consists of four parts covering the following subject areas: Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. These tests are designed to enable people who did not graduate from high school to demonstrate that they have acquired the knowledge and skills usually associated with the completion of a four-year high school program of study. If an individual wishes to take the GED® tests, he or she must be 18 years of age or older and the high school class of which he or she was most recently a member must have graduated.
