Getting a job is really very difficult today, even more so if you do not possess at least a high school diploma.

For those who have not graduated from high school, a Graduate Equivalency Diploma might be the best option.

Five test dates are scheduled in October: On October 26th and 28th at 4:15 PM; October 13th and 15th at 7:15 AM, and October 24th at 6:45 AM. The tests will be held at the Marion City Schools Adult Education Modular, located at 910 East Church Street.

The cost of the exam is $40.00, which due to new rules, everyone has to pay. Those who have previously taken the test but failed can retake the exam at a cost of $10 per subtest up to a maximum of $40.
