Scheduling Your Exam

To take the GED or HiSET exam, you must schedule an appointment in your student account; the list of approved testing centers will appear when you are scheduling. The information provided below regarding testing centers is for your convenience and in case you want to contact a test center directly. However, they will not be able to schedule an exam for you; you must do that in your GED or HiSET account.

Find Testing Centers

Use the map below to find an approved center near you. Click on a testing center bubble to see which tests are offered (GED or HiSET) and contact information. The contact and site information on the map is updated periodically as our office becomes aware of updates for testing centers.

Test takers should research the quality and cost of any program before signing up.
