(1) A one-month waiting period is required before applicants may retake the GED tests. A waiting period of three months is required for any subsequent retest.

(2) Retests must be administered in a test form not previously taken by the examinee.

(3) Retests may not be administered in a subtest section prior to completion of the entire test battery unless requested in writing by the GED chief or alternate examiner.

(4) GED candidates who previously received a Montana high school equivalency credential may retest if higher scores are required for employment or admission to a postsecondary institution.
