GED-General Educational Development

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people earn their General Educational Development (GED) certificate. People like you.

Maybe you had to leave high school to help take care of your family. Maybe you just didn't like school, or didn't think a high school diploma would mean anything - and now you know what it means not to have it.

It's not too late. The GED program provides an opportunity to earn your high school credential outside of school. It could be one of the best things you ever do for yourself.

In 2004, more than 704,400 people took the test. Over the years, the GED test has provided personal, professional and academic satisfaction for millions of adults who were unable to complete their formal high school studies.

What do I need to do to take the test?

  • Make an appointment for a GED Orientation by calling 206-878-3710 Ext. 3282.

  • You need an official picture identification.

  • You need a release from your school if you are 16, 17 or 18 years old.

  • The fee of $75 must be paid before the applicant may begin testing.

What if I need special accommodations because of a disability?

Special arrangements may be made to test individuals who are legally blind, partially sighted, learning disabled, or physically disabled in other ways.

If you have a disability which might prevent you from taking the GED test in the usual way, please let one of our staff know so that special arrangements can be made. Do this several weeks in advance to allow time to process the necessary paperwork and arrangements.
