1. Effective July 1, 2011, the cost to register for the GED test in the state of Virginia is $58.00 for first-time full test takers and $10.00 per subject test for repeat test takers.
2. Because of damage from the earthquake to the Dickinson Building at the Fredericksburg Area Campus, all Saturday GED Exams are currently being administered at the Spotsylvania Career and Technical Center which is located at 6713 Smith Station Road, Spotsylvania, VA 22553, adjacent to Courtland High School.

The General Educational Development (GED) Exam provides an opportunity to enable individuals who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the attainment of abilities normally associated with completion of a high school program of study. By achieving satisfactory scores on the GED Exam, individuals will be awarded a General Educational Development Certificate by the Commonwealth of Virginia and may qualify for admission to college or for more advanced educational opportunities.

The GED Exam consists of a battery of five comprehensive tests in writing skills, math, social studies, science, and reading skills. These tests are designed to measure the concepts and intellectual skills normally acquired during high school. The full test administration (five tests) takes approximately 7 1/2 hours.

Germanna Community College currently operates a Regional GED Testing Center for the Fredericksburg area and conducts monthly GED Testing on Saturdays for residents of Caroline County, City of Fredericksburg, King George County, Spotsylvania County and Stafford County.

Residents of Culpeper, Orange, and Madison (Germanna's western region) are served by a different GED Testing Center. That test center is part of the Regional Adult Education program located at the Culpeper High School Annex. Please call the Adult Education Office at the Culpeper High School Annex, (540) 829-9914, for more information about their program and GED test schedules.

The Germanna Regional GED Test Center for the Fredericksburg area is located in Spotsylvania County at the Fredericksburg Area Campus of Germanna Community College.
