CNM GED Orientation Special Accommodations If you have a documented disability, you may qualify for special accommodations testing, which is conducted one-on-one with a GED examiner and includes one or more of the following: Extra time Frequent breaks Large print, audio, or Braille editions Other accommodations Contact Special Services at (505) for more information. Approval must be obtained at the state or national level; therefore, the waiting period may be two months or more.

CNM GED Orientation Testing Location Actual GED testing is conducted in Room 129 of the CNM Workforce Training Center, 5600 Eagle Rock Ave. NE, near the intersection of I-25 and Alameda Blvd. Be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the first testing session. You must arrive on time and attend the orientation session at the beginning of the first testing day. FIRST DAY: 8:15 a.m. – Orientation and Writing 11:00 a.m. – Math SECOND DAY: 8:15 a.m. – Science 10:00 a.m. – Social Studies 11:45 a.m. – Reading Testing ends at about 1:30 p.m. both days.

CNM GED Orientation On Testing Day Be sure to bring your government-issued picture ID and second ID. All necessary materials will be provided. Personal items, such as coats and jackets, hats and other headgear, books, bags, purses, cell phone and pagers, and any other nonessential items must be left on the coat rack at the front of the testing room. Cell phones and pagers must be completely turned off. Examinees are not permitted to interrupt their testing for any reason; be sure to attend to your personal needs before each test. If you have to leave the room your scores will be invalid for that particular test. If you miss a test, you will need to register at Main, Montoya, or Westside Campus for a monthly retest session. Please wear appropriate, non-revealing clothes. Due to limited seating, the Workforce Training Center staff asks that you request family or friends to return at the end of the testing day instead of waiting in the hallway all day for testing to end.

CNM GED Orientation Passing the GED To pass the GED, you must meet two standards: A minimum standard score of 410 of 800 possible points on all five subject tests (Writing, Social Studies, Science, Reading, and Mathematics). On a 50-question test, you would need 26 correct answers. A minimum average of 450 (total points divided by 5). You must meet both these standards. For example, a person with perfect score on four tests but with a 400 on the remaining test would need to retest in that subject to achieve at least a 410. Similarly, a person with passing scores on all tests but less than a 450 average would need to retest in one or more subjects to achieve at least a 450 average.

CNM GED Orientation Cancellations, No-Shows, Retests To change your testing date for whatever reason, you must go in person to either Main, Montoya, or Westside Campus. Examinees who have missed one or more subject tests or who need to improve their test scores must also register in person for a retest session. Be sure to register early because of limited seating. Retest sessions are given only on the third Wednesday and Thursday of every month. CNM personnel will advise you on which subjects to take.

CNM GED Orientation Getting Your Results Your testing results will be mailed to you, usually within 3 to 4 weeks of testing. Be sure to let GED staff know of any changes to your name or address. If you pass the GED Tests, you will receive an official GED transcript, which is acceptable for school admissions, employment, or military service. Otherwise, you will receive a score report along with instructions for retesting. Within several months, if you have shown our staff a New Mexico driver’s license or New Mexico state ID (or military or tribal ID), the state will send you a high school diploma. If you have provided any other type of identification, you will need to obtain a New Mexico ID and present it in person at Main, Montoya, or Westside Campus to receive a New Mexico high school diploma. CNM does not issue high school diplomas. If the state does not send you a diploma within three months, contact CNM to obtain the telephone number for the state GED office in Santa Fe.
