Getting a good job or going to college typically requires a high school diploma. The General Education Development test offers those who did not graduate from high school the opportunity to obtain a graduation-equivalency certificate. Residents of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, area looking for GED testing should ensure that they meet the requirements and then sign up for the exam online or through one of the official testing centers in the city.
GED applicants must be at least 16 and not enrolled in high school. Teens under 18 need the signature of one parent and the local school district's permission. Sign up to take the test at a testing center. Some centers such as the one through Albuquerque's Central New Mexico Community College allow testers to enroll through the GED site. Through that site, you can fill out required paperwork giving information such as your name and contact information, schedule testing and even pay the required fees.
On the day of the test, take your birth certificate, a government-issued photo identification such as a driver's license or passport and parent and school permission forms if you are under 18. You will be required to pay before taking the exam. The 2014 version consists of four sections: Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science and Social Studies. Scoring at least 150 out of 200 on each section results in a pass.
