Testing:

Crowder College campuses in Neosho, Cassville, and Nevada are official GED test sites for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MDESE).
In order to take the GED test you must first submit an application to the MDESE for approval. This form can be picked up or mailed from an Crowder College AEL class site or you can download the application directly from the MDESE Web site.

When you have received approval from the MDESE to take the GED test, follow these steps to register:

1. Go to an Adult Education center near you (above):
   a. Complete the GED demographic form (information packet)
   b. View the video to familiarize yourself with the calculator and Alternate Format Gridding.
   c. Take a GED practice test to familiarize yourself with the new test format and content.
   
   
2. Contact Crowder College GED testing office at 417-455-5530 to make an appointment to take the test. You will need the following:
   a. Approved GED application
   b. $20.00 test administration fee (cash or money order only) due one prior to testing
   c. Completed GED demographic form (must be obtained and completed at an Adult Education site or picked up in person at the CCAEL office)
   d. A Missouri driver's license or Missouri non-driver's license photo ID
   
   A calendar is available listing dates for each Crowder College testing location. Each site will make every effort to serve as many people as possible but test slots are limited. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis.
   
   Fees:
   
   Candidates are required to pay a $20 testing fee directly to the CCAEL office one week prior to testing. If the testing fee is not received by the deadline, the testor will be unable to test. This fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
   
   Scores:
   
   After you have taken the GED examination there is generally a 3 to 4 week wait for test results. Any questions related to scoring should be made to the MDESE in Jefferson City, Missouri at 573-751-3504 -- not to the campus Assessment Office or Testing Center that hosted your test.
