The State Dept. of Education - GED Testing Office will make a determination on most accommodations, however, if it is an accommodation that they are not authorized to make a determination on, the request will be forwarded to the GED Testing Services in Washington, DC for determination. Requests processed through the State Dept. of Education take approximately 30 days. Requests that require GED Testing Services determination can take up four months.
