Santa Rosa Junior College

GED Testing

As a service to area adults who have not completed high school, General Education Development (GED) tests are offered in conjunction with State Office of Education.

Assessment & GED Services Centers offer both appointment and drop-in scheduling options for placement testing at the Santa Rosa and Petaluma campuses. To make an appointment go online to the SRJC Student Portal and login, then go to Quick Links. We recommend you arrive early as latercomers will not be admitted after the test begins and seating is limited. Please, check the Placement Testing Schedule for dates, times, room locations and scheduling options. Also, there are study guides online and you can pick one up at the Assessment & GED Services Centers.

Your success in college is very important to everyone at Santa Rosa Junior College. Placement tests will help determine the right place for you to begin your studies at SRJC. You should take the placement tests early in your college career to give you and your counselor valuable information about your skills in English, math and chemistry, so you may develop the best plan for achieving your educational goals.

Who should take the placement tests?
All new college students are encouraged to take the placement tests before seeing a counselor. The results will be helpful in determining the appropriate level classes in many disciplines.

You must take the appropriate test if you plan to register in an English, math, chemistry or English as a Second Language course. If you have completed college English, math or chemistry courses, you are not required to take the placement tests, but they may be helpful in determining the best placement for you in SRJC courses. If you are enrolled currently or have taken a math course at SRJC, you must stay in the math course sequence or complete a Challenge Form and submit it to A & R.

What does my placement score mean?
The test results indicate the highest level in which you can register. The level of English and math that you must complete depends on your educational goal. Students planning to transfer to a university or four year college to earn a bachelor's degree will have to complete higher level English and math classes. Test results are available in two business days.
