Upcoming GED Testing Dates

Latest News

Please note:

In an ongoing effort to secure and monitor all buildings on the Pickens campus, the ramp door is no longer the access door for candidates coming to the APS Testing Center. All testers need to proceed to the east side of the building (behind) and use the metal staircase to enter the building. The testing center is on the left in the hallway. We also recommend parking in the lot between Buildings E and F.

Candidates with mobility issues Can call the office at 303-326-2112. Someone will meet them at the handicapped ramp on the north side of the building to open that entrance for them. Thank you for your understanding.

GED Testing Service has implemented a discounted re-test program for the 2014 GED. Every student is eligible for two discounted retakes for each GED subject taken. The discounted retakes ($17.50) are valid for twelve months after the initial test attempt. Students can test three times on the same subject with no wait time between appointments. Then there is a 60-day waiting period before your next attempt on that subject.
All tests are available in English and Spanish.
We recommend you take just one or two tests per day to perform as well as possible.
