The GED (General Educational Development) is a set of four tests that demonstrate you have
the same academic knowledge as a high school graduate. It’s a high school equivalency
credential recognized by most employers and colleges.
Eligibility requirements vary by state, but generally, you
must:
● Be at least 18 years old
● Not be currently enrolled in high school.
● Not have already obtained a high school diploma.
● Both men and women can take this GED program
The GED test consists of four separate sections:
● Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA): Reading comprehension, grammar, and
writing.
● Mathematical Reasoning: Basic math, algebra, and geometry.
● Science: Life science, physical science, and earth and space science.
● Social Studies: Civics and government, U.S. history, economics, and geography.
Your score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly, but it’s converted to a
scaled score. You’ll receive a score report for each subject.
No, you can take the four GED subject tests individually and at your own pace. You don’t need to complete them all on the same day.
There are many resources available to help you prepare, including:
● GED.com: The official GED testing service website offers study guides, practice tests
(including the official GED Ready® practice test), and online classes.
● Local Adult Education Centers: Many communities have adult education programs
that offer GED preparation classes, sometimes for free or at a low cost.
● Online Courses: Platforms like USAHello and other providers offer free or paid online
GED prep courses.
● Libraries: Your local library may have GED study materials and resources.
● Practice Tests: Taking practice tests helps you understand the format, question types,
and identify areas where you need to improve.
