GED Test Registration Only

GED Test Date: Saturday, April 10, 2010

The GED Testing Center strongly recommends that you complete a preparation class before registering for a GED test date. The failure rate for individuals taking the GED test in New York City is over 57%.

Academic instruction and test practice greatly improve your chances of passing the GED test. Free classes are available and can be found by calling 311 or by going to the New York State Education Department or City University of New York websites. Links with more information are listed below for your convenience.

Individuals from the community who successfully complete GED preparation programs are given priority seating at the Brooklyn College GED Testing Center. Most programs make appointments for their students who are ready to pass the test.

There is a very limited number of seats available for individuals who want to schedule the GED test on their own without attending a GED preparation program first.

If you would like to try for one of those few spots, mail a properly completed application form with all required documentation to:

Brooklyn College Adult Literacy Program
GED Testing Center
0118 Ingersoll Hall
Brooklyn College
2900 Bedford Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11210
ATTN: Chief Examiner

The required documentation can be found on the NYSED website.

If space is available, we will contact you with further instructions.
