Find out if you qualify for the Mississippi GED program. The state of Mississippi requires that GED test takers be at least 16 years old, live in the state of Mississippi and have been out of high school for at least six months without graduating. If you fit these qualifications, you can begin the GED certificate process.
Study for the GED exam. You can acquire GED test prep materials at your local library, bookstore or adult learning center. Many community career centers also offer free or low-cost GED courses. The GED exam tests your knowledge in several subject areas, including language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Reviewing each of these subjects before the exam will increase your probability of passing the exam.
Register for the GED exam at an official testing center. The closest test center to Biloxi, Mississippi is the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College or the Gulf Port School District, both of which are located in Harrison County. The registration process entails completing a form that contains your personal information and the date that you wish to sit for the GED exam.

Sit for the GED exam on the date that you signed up for at registration. Bring identification, such as a driver's license or photo ID, to the testing site. To increase your chances of success on the exam, get a good night sleep the night before the exam, eat a breakfast high in protein and fiber the morning of the exam and aim to arrive at the test center 15 to 30 minutes before the exam begins.
