Once the essay is scored, it is merged with the multiple-choice score to create one writing score. Reading - 65-minute time limit Mathematics - 90-minute time limit - There are two parts to this test. In Part 1, you will have access to a calculator that is provided by the Testing Center. You will have 45 minutes in which to use the calculator. At the end of 45 minutes, the calculator is removed and you will receive Part 2 of the test. Science - 80-minute time limit Social Studies - 70-minute time limit What are the rules of the Testing Center?A student will have two years from the date of the first test to complete his or her GED. Students who do not complete all five tests in the two-year time period will need to request an extension. All coats, hats, purses, backpacks, electronic devices (including cell phones), etc. are to be removed and put in a designated locker before testing begins. Only the test booklet, answer sheet, and materials (calculator, scratch paper, etc.) given to the student by the proctor are to be on the table. Students may not leave the testing room until a test has been completed and returned to the proctor for scoring. If a student needs to leave the room during a test for an emergency, the student will not be permitted to finish the test and the test will be scored "as is." All breaks for refreshments, restroom, etc. must be taken prior to beginning the exam. During testing, the use of reference materials, such as dictionaries, is not allowed. This is to ensure that everyone is tested fairly under the same conditions. A student cannot use any notes, books, or scratch paper that he/she has brought with him/her. How do I know when I've passed?You must have a minimum score of 410 on each test to pass and a total of 2,250 points for all five tests.Once you have passed all five tests, you will receive a transcript. The transcript can be used for admission to college or verification of high school equivalency completion to an employer.Once you turn 18 and your original high school class has graduated, a diploma will be issued to you. The diploma fee is included as part of your testing fee. It is imperative that we have an accurate address so that we may send the diploma to the proper recipient at the correct address. Diplomas are issued the second week of each month.PESTICIDE APPLICATIONPhoto ID required - $15 fee per dayIHCC is a testing site for Pesticide Applicator Testing as required by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
