Clark College CCE on Mill Plain Boulevard, an authorized Pearson VUE site.
$36 a subject, the same at a test center or online from home.
Higher than most states. Ages 16-18 need documentation to test.
Per subject, out of 200. Miss one and you retake only that subject.
Same prep, same teachers, wherever you are. What changes is how the program meets the realities of studying in Vancouver.
Lessons run 6 to 9 minutes. They fit a break, a bus ride, or the quiet half hour after the kids go down. Nothing here needs you in a classroom on a weeknight.
Clark College's testing center appears in the GED scheduler as Clark East, which is not what anyone types first. It is a small thing that costs people an appointment, and it is the kind of local detail no national GED guide carries.
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 Washington hub for the statewide overview.

At Clark College Community and Continuing Education, 18700 SE Mill Plain Boulevard, Vancouver, WA 98683. Clark states it is an authorized testing center for Pearson VUE and names GED testing among the exams it delivers. It opens Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with Fridays remote, and the number is (360) 992-2939. The detail that trips people up: when the scheduler asks you to choose a testing location, select Clark East. Booking against the wrong Clark entry is the easiest way to lose an appointment.
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.
Eight weeks of steady study and one morning on Mill Plain Boulevard, no bridge involved. Start with the free diagnostic and we will show you which of the four subjects you could sit next month.

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 Clark 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 Clark College next month. Passing one or two first time is common and shortens everything after.
