On the Bellevue College campus, 3000 Landerholm Circle SE, Bellevue, WA 98007. The college puts it carefully: it provides limited hours of in-person GED testing, and tells you to create an account on GED.com and search the dates and locations to see its availability. That is the honest way to check, because the schedule moves. Do not rely on older listings that name a specific room and weekday — those pages are years out of date. You pay at the time of scheduling.
All four subjects cost $144, which is $36 each, and testing online from home costs exactly the same. So price is not the reason to pick one over the other. In person, Washington gives you two retakes in a subject with no waiting period before a longer wait applies. You do not have to sit all four at once, and most people do not — booking them one at a time is usually the calmer way through.
Nineteen, which is higher than almost every other state, and the detail that catches people is the band underneath it. Anyone aged 16 through 18 can test, but only by providing documentation verifying they are not enrolled in any kind of high school program at the time of testing. That includes eighteen-year-olds, who in most states would simply be old enough. The only exceptions are people enrolled in a program while in the military or while incarcerated. Sort that paperwork before you try to book.

Yes, and Washington is explicit about it: all test takers must be a resident of Washington State at the time of testing to be awarded the credential here. That is a condition of being awarded it, not just of sitting it, so if you have recently moved, get your residency in order before you book. Worth knowing what you actually earn: Washington calls it the Certificate of Educational Competency rather than a diploma. Colleges and employers treat it as a high school equivalency.
Yes. Washington allows online proctored testing, and at $36 a subject it costs exactly the same as testing at Bellevue College, so choose 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 residency rule and the age-19 rule apply either way — testing from your sofa does not change what Washington requires of you.
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 Bellevue College next month. Passing one or two first time is common and shortens everything after.
