	To pass the GED test you must fulfill 2 requirements:
		Score at least 410 on each of the 5 tests, And
		Attain an average score of 450 per test.
	If you have at least 410 on each test but do not make 450 average score:
		You can retest after 30 days if you made an average score from 430 - 448.
		You can retest after 90 days if you made an average score of 428 or below.
	No matter what your total is, if you make below 410 on a test, you must take that test first!
	If you fail a retest battery, you will have to wait 6 months before you can take the test in Indiana.
	The writing essay test is based on a total score of 4. If you score less than a 2 on the writing essay, your writing score is 0. The multiple choice part of the test is void.
	You will receive a 10-minute warning when you have 10 minutes left on each test. If you do not think that you can complete the test in 10 minutes, then darken circles on the remaining questions. Do not leave any questions blank!
	All personal items such as purses, coats, caps are to be put under your seat. They are not to sit on the table with you while you are taking the test.
	When you finish a test, hold up your hand. The GED examiner will come and collect your test and test form. Then you may leave for a short break. Report back to the proctor when you return from your break. (S)he will then give you the next test.
