At Idaho State University's University Testing Center, which moved into Albion Hall, Room 105 in January 2025. The address is 921 S. 8th Avenue, Pocatello, ID 83209, and it is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The phone number is (208) 282-4907. Older pages still point at Graveley Hall, so go to Albion Hall. You book and pay through your GED.com account rather than through the university.
All four subjects cost $144, which is $36 each. The part worth knowing is that testing online from home costs exactly the same, so price is not the reason to pick one over the other. Where it does change is if you fail a subject. Retake it at a test center and you pay a $10 fee rather than the full price again. Retake it online and you pay $36. You do not have to sit all four at once, and most people do not.
Yes. Idaho allows online proctored testing, so you can sit all four subjects at home with a webcam, a steady connection and a room nobody walks into. You need a passing score on the GED Ready practice test first. It costs the same as testing at ISU, so decide on convenience rather than price. The one real difference is retakes: online you get one before a 60-day wait and each retake is $36, where a test center gives you three attempts and charges $10.
Eight weeks of steady study and one weekday morning on South 8th Avenue. Start with the free diagnostic and we will show you which of the four subjects you could sit next month, and which ones actually need the work.

Eighteen, and you need to be withdrawn from high school without a diploma. At 16 or 17 you are not shut out: Idaho has a Youth Waiver Form that goes to your local test center for approval before you can schedule anything. Get it approved first, because the ISU center will not book you without it. If you are under 18 and testing online instead, a parent or guardian has to be at the pre-test check-in to give consent.
No. Idaho has no residency requirement at all, which is unusual among states. People drive in from eastern Idaho and over the Utah line to test at ISU. One local detail worth knowing: Idaho does not call the credential a diploma. You earn a GED Transcript and a High School Equivalency Certificate. Colleges and employers treat it the same way a diploma is treated.
Most people need eight to fourteen weeks at a few hours a week, and GED Testing Service suggests planning for two to three months. What actually decides it is which subjects have gone rusty. Start with the free diagnostic: it scores you against the same blueprint the real test uses, so you find out which subjects need genuine work and which you could book at Albion Hall next month. Passing one or two first time is common and shortens everything after.
