Memphis has exactly one GED test center: Tech901 at Crosstown Concourse, about two miles from downtown. The closer pins on the map are in Arkansas and Mississippi, and finishing there hands you their credential instead of Tennessee's. All four subjects cost $144.

Local context for prep — testing capacity, college access, statewide pricing, and the always-available online option.
Tech901 at Crosstown Concourse is the only GED test site in Memphis. The next Tennessee site is Dyersburg State in Covington, about 34 miles north.
$36 a subject, the same at a test center or online from home.
A discounted retake at a test center costs $10 a subject. Online retakes stay $36, so the drive to Crosstown can be worth it.
17-year-olds can test after an approved age-waiver form. No residency requirement.
Same prep, same teachers, wherever you are. What changes is how the program meets the realities of studying in Memphis.
With a single site in Memphis, the appointment is the scarce thing, not the studying. Lessons run 6 to 9 minutes so you can keep moving between bookings, and we tell you which subjects are genuinely ready before you spend a slot on one that is not.
Memphis graduates move into Southwest Tennessee Community College certificate tracks, transfer routes toward the University of Memphis and LeMoyne-Owen, and the employers hiring across the metro — Methodist Le Bonheur and Baptist Memorial, the FedEx hub at the airport, and the warehousing and logistics work along Lamar Avenue.
Four credentialed teachers, one per subject, seven days a week. Median reply is under four hours. No ticket queue, no chatbot, no waiting until Monday.
Same program, same teachers, different metro. Pick another city or head back to the Tennessee hub for the statewide overview.

Tech901, at 1350 Concourse Avenue, Suite 375, inside Crosstown Concourse. It is the only GED test site in Memphis. The next Tennessee option is Dyersburg State Community College in Covington, about 34 miles north. Several Memphis-area colleges advertise high school equivalency help without proctoring the GED, so book through your GED.com account rather than calling a campus — the scheduler only offers sites that actually deliver the test.
You can, but understand what you are choosing. GED Testing Service issues the credential from the state where you pass your final subject. Arkansas State University Mid-South in West Memphis is under ten miles from downtown, and Northwest Mississippi in Southaven is about fifteen — both closer than they have any right to be. Finish your fourth subject at either and you hold an Arkansas or Mississippi credential, not a Tennessee one. If you want a Tennessee diploma, finish in Tennessee, or test online from a Memphis address.
The official test is $36 per subject, or $144 for all four, and the price is identical online. Retakes are where the two routes separate: a discounted retake at a test center is $10 a subject, because GED Testing Service waives its own fee, while online retakes stay at full price. Tennessee Adult Education also issues vouchers that can cover the test entirely if you enroll in a local program, which is worth asking about before you pay anything.
Yes, statewide, at the same $36 a subject. You need a passing score on the official GED Ready practice test first, plus a webcam, a steady connection and a private room. Testing online from a Memphis address also keeps your credential Tennessean, which driving across the bridge would not. The trade-off is the retake price: $36 online against $10 at Tech901, so if a subject feels borderline, the in-person seat is the cheaper gamble.
Eighteen. A 17-year-old can test after completing the HSE Recommendation for 17-Year-Old Student form, having a superintendent, their designee or a home-school parent sign it, uploading it to the Tennessee Age Waiver site, and being approved by the State Administrator before registering. If a 17-year-old takes the online exam, a parent or guardian has to be present at the pre-test check-in. There is no residency requirement at any age.
Yes. Southwest Tennessee Community College, the University of Memphis, Christian Brothers University and LeMoyne-Owen College all treat the Tennessee High School Equivalency Diploma as equivalent to a high school diploma for admission, as does every other public institution in the state. Southwest Tennessee is the usual first stop — nursing, logistics, HVAC and IT certificates all open up once you hold the credential.
Most students who study consistently for 45 to 60 minutes a day are test-ready in 8 to 14 weeks. Your day-one diagnostic shows which of the four subjects actually need the hours, and the plan adapts from there. There is no minimum preparation time in Tennessee — you sit each subject when you are ready, in any order, and passing scores are held until the set is complete.
Eight to fourteen weeks of steady study and a short trip to Crosstown Concourse. Start with the free diagnostic and we will tell you which subjects are ready before you book the one seat in town.
