Registration Procedure for GED Tests

To register for a GED test, go to the website: www.ged.com

• Sign up and log onto MyGED
• Select “Schedule Test”
• Pay the fee per test module with a debit/credit card.

Scheduling GED Tests

The GED website will show a range of times on the dates that testing is available. This is to allow you the opportunity to schedule two tests, back-to-back, on the same date if desired. However, please note the following requirements:

• Schedule your test to begin at the first posted test time (example, 2p.m. if the posted times are from 2p.m.-6p.m.) If you sign up for a second test on the same date, it will automatically begin immediately following your first test.
• Check-in at the Testing Center one-half hour before the test (example, 1:30p.m. for a 2p.m. test). 
• A valid (not expired) government-issued ID is required to be shown each time you take a test. This ID must have: your picture, name, address, date of birth and signature. NO ID/ NO TESTING!

Test Scores

You will receive an email letting you know when you can review your Score Report, usually within one hour after completing your test.

GED Transcripts and Credentials

All Oregon transcripts and certificates will be issued by GED Credentialing, delivered to your email as soon as you have passed all four GED tests, at no cost for the first copy.

Credentials for GED tests taken before 2014 will be available for $15 per request at:
