GED Testing Program

The GED Testing Program gives adults and out-of-school youth an opportunity to demonstrate their academic skills and to earn the New Hampshire High School Equivalency Certificate. GED programs operate under the auspices of the GED Testing Service®.

Notice: The GED Tests will change on January 1, 2014. Test-takers who have not completed and passed all sections of the GED Tests before the end of December, 2013, will have to start over. All GED candidates are urged to complete GED testing as soon as possible!

The New Hampshire Board of Education has selected HiSET, published by Educational Testing Service, as the New Hampshire High School Equivalency Test for 2014. More details will be available soon.

• News Release

It's also important to know that you cannot take GED Tests online. A Web site that suggests that you can take GED Tests online is not legitimate.

Please note: On July 1, 2009, the New Hampshire compulsory school age changed from 16 to 18. The process for seeking permission to take GED Tests before the age of 18 also changed.

GED permissions from the New Hampshire GED administrator will no longer be valid. Students 16 and 17 years old will be able to register to take GED tests only if they have

• GED Referral Form 1 from a GED Option program
• GED Referral Form 2 from their local school district, or GED Referral Form 3 for home schooled students
• There is a Referral Form 4 for students in correctional institutions

These forms require students to demonstrate that they have passed Official GED Practice Tests.
