Iowa Code r. 281-32.6 - High school equivalency diploma program based on a department-approved test
The department will award a high school equivalency diploma to an applicant who achieves the appropriate minimum standard scores on an approved test.
(1)
Validity of
test scores. Scores on an approved test remain valid for a period of
five years from the date of the first subtest taken. If an applicant has not
earned a high school equivalency diploma within this five-year period, the
applicant must retake any expired subtest. The only exception is for test
series that expire prior to the five-year period, in which case all previously
taken subtests are void.
(2)
Retest. Any applicant not achieving the minimum standard test
score on any subtest in effect at the time of testing is permitted to apply for
retest. Applicants may retest twice per calendar year, provided one of the
following conditions is met:
a. A period of
three months from the date of initial testing has elapsed; or
b. The applicant completes instruction in an
adult education and literacy program in each subject area to be retested. This
instruction is to be certified by an official of the adult education and
literacy program provider to the test administrator authorized to release the
retest.
