The GED tests are offered in both English and Spanish.

First, create an account on GED.com. You will receive an Age Alert telling you that you need to get a high school release form completed by the high school that you last attended or the school district closest to your home, and bring it to the testing center where you plan to test.

High schools and school districts are very familiar with this form and if you ask them for a high school release form they will know what you are asking for.

You will also find a link to this form when you read the Age Alert from GED.com but it may be easier to get it from the high school or school district. The high school or school district has to fill out and sign this form.

After you have the completed and approved form you will need to bring it to the testing center or email a copy of the form to testingcenter@highline.edu (it will be on file until you turn 19 years old). The testing center then approves your eligibility to test and you will be able to go into your account and schedule your exams.

Accommodations for testing can be requested when you create your GED account. If you mark that you need an accommodation you will be given further instructions and access to forms. You should fill out the forms per the instructions. You will be instructed to do this several weeks in advance of testing.
