Indiana GED Information
Who is eligible to take the GED Tests?
Indiana requires an individual to be a resident of Indiana for 30 days; and to be at least eighteen years of age, or to be at least seventeen (17) years of age and not subject to compulsory school attendance. Those who are seventeen years old must provide the testing center with passing practice test scores and a copy of the official exit interview from the last high school they attended.
How much does it cost to take the GED Tests?
The maximum cost of taking the tests is $60 in Indiana. Some sites may charge less. If you fail one or more sections of the test your re-test in those sections could cost $12-15 each.
What if I don't pass the tests the first time?
You can take the tests again. However, Indiana has special requirements for examinees who don't pass the GED Tests the first time. These waiting periods are required so that you will have time to study on the areas you did not pass.
1. If you score between 2150 and 2240 points you may retest after 30 days. 2. If you score 2140 or fewer points must wait 90 days to retest. 3. If you fail to achieve a passing score on the first retest (and all subsequent retests) you must wait six months. 4. Once you have completed all five tests, you are not required to take the whole test again. You must retake any section on which you scored below 410 points. You may retake any section or sections to make up needed points to reach 2250.
Are GED graduates eligible for financial aid for college?
Yes. Federal monies are available to GED recipients as they are to traditional high school graduates who meet the eligibility criteria. These requirements usually include demonstrated financial need. A student must be enrolled in an accredited program leading to degrees or certificates. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens and must have social security numbers. The U.S. Department of Education publishes two booklets that you may find helpful:
