The GED test is a five part exam which includes science, social studies, mathematics, language arts-reading, and language arts-writing. You may take the test in parts. You may study one subject at a time and test only on that subject.

The fee to take the entire test is $70; individual parts are $14 each. In some situations, there is financial assistance for those who qualify.

The test is administered on two nights. It begins at 5:00 p.m. and ends about 9:30 p.m. If you are taking the test in parts, you only need to be present for the part(s) for which you registered.

Judge Mathis grew up in the housing projects in Detroit. He was involved in gangs. He spent time in jail. How did he pull himself out? After learning that his mother had cancer, Mathis decided it was time to change the course of his life. He was offered probation, if he entered a General Education Development program. He didn't just stop there though. He went on to college and law school, and he became the youngest superior court judge ever to serve in Michigan. Did he stop there? No, he went on to have his own television court show.

Q. How do I get started?
A. The first step to enrolling in your GED program is to visit iTECH’s Student Services Department where you will complete a registration form and receive an appointment for an evaluation that will determine your academic skills in reading, mathematics, and language. Once this is completed, you may begin your GED classes.

Q. What will class be like for me?
A. You will have your own individualized study plan and be able to learn in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere the competencies that you need to master in order to pass the GED test.

Q. What does "Residency for Tuition Purposes" mean?
A. It means you must prove that you have lived in Florida for the 12 consecutive months prior to the day you enroll.  The residency requirement means only that you have lived in Florida for the previous year.

Q. I went to iTECH last year. Does that mean I'm a Florida resident?
A. Yes

Q. This is my first time at iTECH. How do I prove I am a resident for tuition purposes?
A.
► You must provide two (2) documents from the Tier 1/ Tier 2 lists. One of those documents must be from Tier 1.
► If you are unable to provide your own documents and are under the age of 24, the documents may be in your parent/guardian's name, and your parent must sign a residency affidavit.
►All documents must be dated, issued, or filed twelve (12) months BEFORE the first day you want to enroll.

Q. What if I don't have the documents? May I enroll anyway?
A. Yes.  iTECH welcomes you even if you are unable to provide the documents.  You would pay the out-of-state tuition of $120 a semester/session.
