How Long do the Test Take to Write?


The GED Testing Service in Victoria schedules the session dates in conjunction with the community colleges, but the colleges set the times the individual tests are administered. You should note that you can write these tests only at the time specified by the colleges. You should arrive at the centre approximately one-half hour before the tests are scheduled to begin. If you are scheduled to write only some of the tests, call the GED Examiner at the college listed on page 5, to find out what time you should report to write.

The five tests take seven (7) hours and
twenty-five (25) minutes to complete.
