Do I have to retake all GED test in another state?
If you have been awarded a GED in Texas you do NOT have to retake any portion of the test anywhere again, ever. If you have not been awarded a GED, you must retest in Colorado. In Colorado a GED test consist of 5 separate tests. The GED Diploma is awarded when a candidate receives a score of at least 410 on each of the five tests with an average score of 450 (or 2250 total points) on all five tests. Candidates do not have to complete the full battery of five GED tests before they can retest on any single test. Candidates that did not receive the minimum passing score of 410 points may retest on any of the five GED tests in order to bring the score up to the minimum. When candidates have received the minimum passing score of 410 points on each of the GED tests and still have a total score of less than 2250, they may retest on whichever tests they choose, as long as the form of the particular test is different from the one that they took earlier. If a candidate retests on the same test form, the retest score will be automatically invalidated. Since there are only three test forms available in the state each year, a candidate may test only three times during any given year.
National Career Readiness Certificate re testing?
The NCRC or National Career Readiness Test is something they are telling all the people who have been laid off in Oregon to take. If my tests are low they tell me I can re take the test. My test scores were pretty good. I got a 90 on reading and 80 and 81 on math and locating. That gives me a Gold certificate. With one or two more questions correct on Math and Locating and I could probably get the whole certificate up to a Platinum level. If I re test do I get to keep the best score or do I get stuck with the score on the last test I took. Also, is paying for access to the online study guide a good investment or should I just order a book. One interesting note. I have asked these same question to their customer service folks and no one knew the answers. They also couldn't direct me to someone who could. If the online study guide is like this it is money down a rat hole. Also, do employers even care about this NCRC score. Or is this just something to make the Employment Department look like it is doing something helpful. Thank you for your consideration
If I apply for a university with an early application form, yet I am failing my present classes, if I retake them next quarter and get them done before the transfer so I can finish my degree, will everything be fine?
If I apply for a university with an early application form, yet I am failing my present classes, if I retake them next quarter and get them done before the transfer so I can finish my degree, will everything be fine?From your question, I sense that you are under a great deal of pressure. My suggestion is to leave university for now and focus on getting your high school diploma in solid order.Let’s lay out the situation for a clearer view. You want to retake courses you previously failed. The clock is ticking; you have to finish and you have to get good grades—all within a strictly limited time frame. But you can’t forget that you already failed them once and might do so again, unless you figure out what went wrong. You also have other courses to take. The tension goes through the roof.You can’t think straight. You can barely take time off to eat and sleep, not to mention fun and relaxation. You’re a mess but topmost in your mind is the worry that the university won’t accept you because of your current academic standing. Maybe your parents are on your case.Under these conditions, it is humanly impossible to perform well. That is why I suggest to leave university for now. Explain to your parents that you’ve done your best. (If you haven’t, explain that you are now doing your best.) Tell them that your goal is to finish high school with top grades, but for this you need to do a lot more studying and remedial training, which makes it necessary to put off university for six months or a year.Some people actually take a break from school between high school and university. They work a couple years, then go back to school. If you would plan for that, you could relax to focus on doing what has to be done to get solid grades on your high school transcript.If there is time for a job between high school and university, go flip some hamburgers and think about the university program that best fits your interests and talents. Do the necessary research and give the necessary attention to writing excellent applications.To answer your question: No, I don’t think everything will be okay if you follow your plan. That is why I propose this alternative plan. I think you will succeed with it, or a similar one.

Can an associate degree help you join the military if you have a GED?
At my time of enlistment (April 2012) I didnt have an official form of high school equivalency at all, such as a diploma or GED.With (maybe because of) untreated ADHD, I did not graduate HS. Mostly because I did about 3 pages of homework per class per year. My most advanced math class was geometry. Language arts was ridiculous (“What do you think the author meant by…” “What can be inferred from this passage/poem etc. etc.) so I couldnt care less about it. And even though I enjoyed my math/science classes, Mechanics, and Woodshop -and learned a lot- it felt like a waste of time because we didnt have the funding to make anything worth a damn. So without a diploma or GED I enrolled for some basic classes to acquire 15 general education college credits… and barely managed.But I scored M:98 A:97 G:95 E:94 (avg of 96) on my ASVAB -of which they did not make me take a verification retest. I then went on to enjoy being an F-15 Engine Mechanic. My weak points were attention to mass details and time management, but I could take care of intricate details like precise measurements as if I designed it myself.
Getting GED with learning disability?
Contact your local Vocational Rehabilitation and community colleges to see what kinds of programs they offer. Vocational Rehab would work with you perhaps based on your disability and educational status. However, they may require you to be retested. They should provide the testing at no cost. Some of their training programs are quite good. One of my former students with a learning disability and ADHD became a certified electrician courtesy of Voc Rehab. He's probably making more than me right now. Community colleges often have programs that help you finish school or earn your GED at little or no cost to you. Training programs may also be available. Don't wait too long for these programs since some may require you to complete financial aid forms and this is the best time of year for you to do it. PS I bet you can complete the GED with ease, based on your writing. Basic Algebra is all you need. There are pre-tests available at the places I listed above. It shouldn't take you long. :) Best wishes to your bright future!
Can i join the military if i got a 29 on the asvab test...?
You scored in what is called a Category 4 area. That is 16-30. When recruiting was suffering a couple years ago, the Army was authorized to enlist up to 4% of applicants in Cater gory 4. Now that recruiting is up, they are not doing that anymore at all. For the next six months, you ought to get a study guide and possibly enroll in some adult education GED classes. I don't know if you need a GED but a lot of the math and english on the GED is similar to the ASVAB and it will give you a teacher. If for some reason your recruiter gets authorized a Catergory 4 waiver, let him know you are standing by to enlist in whatever job he can get you. Odds are though, it's going to be time for you to retest before another Catergory 4 slot opens up.
