The GED program has become a significant means for adults to acquire a high school equivalency diploma.  GED Tests cover language arts reading and writing skills, social studies, science, and mathematics. At age 17, an examinee must provide documentation of no longer being subject to Indiana Compulsory Attendance Laws and successfully pass the GED Practice Test. Each examinee must be an Indiana resident for at least 30 days and present a photo identification and proof of age. Testing sites are located throughout the state.

Adult Education and/or GED Testing Preparation Classes

Adult programs throughout the state offer courses on reading, language, writing and math.  Many also offer English as a Second Language (ESL) courses and General Educational Development (GED) Test prep.  Adult education services can help you become employed, advance at work, find a career certification program, earn your GED certificate or high school diploma, and/or attend college.

GED Testing

Adult education classes can prepare you to take the GED Tests although they are not required to take the tests. The actual GED Tests can only be taken at official testing sites registered with the American Council on Education (ACE).  To locate the testing center nearest you using your zip code, see: Locating a GED Test Center.
