Registration is completed as the first scheduled session.  If you are retaking one of the GED tests, you do not need to complete Registration again.  Individuals only need to register once. However, you must have taken all five Subject Tests at least once before you are permitted to retake any one of them.                  

The complete GED is offered monthly at both the Main Campus in Newtown and at the Lower Bucks Campus (LBC) in Bristol.  Testing sessions are held over a two-day period, on a Monday and Tuesday, with individual Subject Tests scheduled in the morning and afternoon.  All five GED Subject Tests are offered at each of the monthly two day sessions. 

The schedule of test dates and the start times for each Subject Test are listed below.

A Visitor's Parking Permit is required on the Newtown campus.  Stop at the Security Office to receive a Visitor's Parking Permit at no cost.   Driving directions to the campuses in Newtown and Bristol can be accessed under "Quick Links" on the Bucks web site, at  http://www.bucks.edu
