Examinees must register and pre-pay for the exam at the Parent & Community Resource Center located on 1610 Del Rio Blvd with Maria Chavarria @ 830-758-7163. Office hours are Monday-Friday 8:00 AM to 12 Noon and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Who can take the GED? The State of Texas requires that examinees must be 18 years of age. A 17 year old is eligible, but will need a parent consent form along with a TEA withdrawal form completed and signed by parent/legal guardian and a school official from the last school they attended. If the examinee is 17 & homeless, they must sign a McKinney Homeless Act form before testing. A 16 year old may test only with an official court order signed by a judge. What constitutes a valid photo ID? Identity and age must be verified using photo identification: Driver’s license, passports, military, or other form of government photo ID that show: name, address, date of birth, signature and photograph. Out of state ID’s are accepted with an updated permit from the Texas Department of Public Safety. High school ID’s are not accepted. Social Security Cards will also be required with ID.

If I do not pass my GED, how soon can I retest? Examinees needing to retest will no longer do not have the required 6 month waiting period, nor do they need to provide a retest letter from their teacher or preparation program. The three tests limit per calendar year is still in effect. For help with test preparation or retest preparation contact Maria Chavarria @ 830-758-7163. Are accommodations available? GED examinees who have a documented Learning Disability, Attention Deficit and/or Hyperactivity Disorder, Physical Disability, or a Mental Disability may qualify for special testing accommodations. Accommodation request forms must be downloaded from the SWTJC Testing Center website and fill out the proper disability form. The form must be signed by a professional psychologist. The accommodation request form and a psychological evaluation must be returned to the GED Chief Examiner at least one month before the scheduled testing date to allow time for your request to be reviewed. Where can I find a professional psychologist? Examinees who do not have a documented disability, should contact the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services for assistance in getting a psychological evaluation.
