How Do I Earn my Kansas State High School Diploma?

Students may elect to do one of the following:

• Register for Adult Education classes which help you prepare to take the GED examination.
• Register and pay $45.00 to take the qualifying test (OPT). Everyone must take and pass the qualifying test with a minimum score of 450 out of a possible 800 in each test battery and have a combined average score of 500 to qualify to take the GED final exam.

To register for and take the GED final exam you will need to:

• Contact Devin Graves, the Chief GED Examiner, 620.441.5258
• Provide a valid KS Driver's License, Military Photo ID or Passport
• Provide proof of KS Residency
• Take and Pass the Qualifying Test (OPT)
• Pay $85.00 GED final exam registration fee
• Complete the registration process and secure your test date

Based on your scores of the GED exam, the State of Kansas Board of Regents can issue you a Kansas State High School Diploma.

The five areas tested over are:

• Writing
• Social Studies
• Science
• Reading
• Math

The five basic tests are multiple choice.
The writing portion also has an additional part—the essay. You are given a statement or question, and you have to write your opinion in a specific amount of time.

Each test battery must score a minimum of 420 with an overall total of 2250 in order to pass.
