PCC runs GED testing at Willow Creek on Edgeway Drive, which is in Hillsboro rather than across the county line. For a Washington County commute that is the difference between a morning and a day.

At Portland Community College's Willow Creek Opportunity Center, Room 220, 241 SW Edgeway Drive, Hillsboro, OR 97006. PCC runs GED testing at two sites, Willow Creek and Cascade, and Willow Creek is the Hillsboro one. Two things worth knowing: PCC's separate Hillsboro Center is closed while a new building goes up, so classes and services moved to Willow Creek, and PCC states that GED testing is by appointment only through GED.com with no walk-in service. The testing number is 971-722-2618.
All four subjects cost $176, which is $44 each. Testing online from home costs exactly the same, so price is not the reason to pick one over the other. Retakes are cheap by comparison: Lane Community College publishes a $10 retest fee per test for the first two retakes in each subject, after which you pay full price again, and retakes have to happen within 12 months of your first attempt. You do not have to sit all four at once, and most people do not.
Yes. Oregon allows online proctored testing, and it costs the same $44 a subject as testing at Willow Creek, so decide on convenience rather than price. You need a passing score on the GED Ready practice test first, plus a webcam, a steady connection and a room nobody walks into. The one real difference is retakes: in person you get two attempts before a 60-day wait kicks in, where the online exam allows one retake before that wait.
Eight weeks of steady study and one appointment on Edgeway Drive. 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.

No. Lane Community College puts it plainly: you do not need to be an Oregon resident to test. What you cannot be is a high school graduate or still enrolled in high school. That makes Oregon one of the easier states to test in if you have just moved or you live near the border. Bring a physical government-issued photo ID to every session — a DMV card, driver license, military ID, passport or Tribal Council ID. Centers turn people away without it.
Eighteen, with a real route at 16 or 17. Oregon lets you test younger if you are enrolled in a GED Option Program, have parent or guardian permission, are emancipated, or are married. The paperwork is the part people get stuck on: a test center will want either a letter on school letterhead exempting you from compulsory attendance, from the district where you live, or proof you are enrolled in an Oregon Option Program. Get that from your local high school before you try to book anything.
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 Willow Creek next month. Passing one or two first time is common and shortens everything after.
