Introducing the Official Online GED Test

Updated 09/14/20

Check out our new Online Testing webpage to find out everything you need to know about the Online Proctored GED test and if you’re eligible. 


The Online Proctored GED Test was launched in May 2020 and is currently available in select states in the U.S. and U.S. territories. With the Online Proctored GED Test, students can take the GED test from home while securely monitored by an online proctor. Prior to this, students could only take the GED test at approved test centers. This online testing option was created to help students continue testing while some test centers remain closed or have limited appointments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This option is not currently available internationally. 

To qualify for online testing, you must meet the following requirements.  

  • Your state participates in online testing
  • You’ve scored “Green” on the GED Ready practice test within the past 60 days 

You can also log into your GED.com account to see if you are eligible. 

If you meet these requirements, here are some online testing essentials to keep in mind:  

  • You’ll need a computer, webcam and reliable internet — no tablets or phones.
  • You’ll need to take your test in a private room with a closed door.
  • Before scheduling and paying for the test, it’s important to run a system check to be sure that your computer meets the requirements.

Check out the video below about how online GED testing works.

 

Secure and Reliable Testing

The online GED test is monitored the entire time by a real, live proctor. It’s administered through secure OnVUE software with built-in artificial intelligence (AI) features for optimal test security.

The test content is the same as the in-person version. The cost is the same as well.

It’s important to avoid fraudulent sites that may try to mislead you into paying for a fake GED online test. The official online GED test is proctored and can only be accessed through your student account at GED.com. You have to be logged in to be able to schedule and take the test. Learn more about how to recognize and avoid GED test fraud here.

 

Additional Online Resources

If you’re not eligible for online testing yet, here are some ways you can start prepping online for the GED test:

1. Online GED Course

If you need the guidance of a classroom setting, an online GED preparation course can help you better understand the material. 

  • GED Live features top-rated Kaplan instructors who can guide you through each subject 
  • Complete the courses at your own pace from the comfort of home
  • Recorded sessions are available on demand if you miss a live lesson 

 

2. Interactive Practice Questions On-the-go

GED Flash is a mobile-friendly practice tool that will help you master the exact concepts you’ll need to know to pass the GED test:

  • Thousands of interactive questions just like the ones on the real test
  • Instant step-by-step explanations to understand each answer
  • Study wherever and whenever you want with easy access from any device

 

3. Official Practice Test

Practice tests are an important way to identify your strengths and weaknesses. GED Ready will help you know what to study and get you familiar with the GED testing process. Scoring “Green” on GED Ready is one of the requirements for taking the GED test online.

  • Feel more confident on testing day if you’ve taken several practice tests 
  • Try taking more than one if you want to measure your progress 
  • As your practice score continues to improve, you’ll know your study habits are effective

 

There are many ways to get ready for the GED test, and we’re sure you’ll be confident when test day comes. We are rooting for you as you continue to prep. Whether your test will be taken online or in person, achieving your high school diploma will be a life-changer.

        4. Hello wondering when ill be able to take the online test i purchased the ged practice rdy test, but im not able to get on please help

          1. Hi Harit! Unfortunately international students cannot test online.

          2. Hi Marquan,

            The GED Ready test is an indicator of how you will do on the official GED test. You will still need to take the official GED test subjects to earn a credential.

        5. do you know if i am elgible to test and if WV is a state that the online testing from home is available? thanks!

        6. Is MI one of the states that has the GED online testing? Also do I have to have all the requirements met or just one?

          1. If I have taken the math portion of the test and scored a 142 do I still need to take the practice test to be eligible to take the test online?

          1. Hi Abraham. You should get a notification in your account once you’re able to test online. To be eligible you’ll need to score Green on the GED Ready practice test.

        7. So even if we have already passed 3 subjects we still need to purchase the practice test to be able to take the final exam online?

          1. Hi Erica, yes that is correct. To take your last subject test online you’ll need to take the practice test in that same subject and pass. Then you will be eligible to complete your last test.

        8. It is really crazy all the GED test centers should to open for testing . You can avoid the Social distancing by the limit people in same time same day. And using mask hand sanitizer . Why some of the ged testing open and some are not ? I am all prepared for testing and I can’t get GED online test . And my GED testing in my areas not open . How long should I support to wait for it open?

          1. GED Testing Service does not determine whether a test center is open or closed. Test centers are required to follow local and state guidelines based on COVID-19 restrictions.

        9. How can I retake the test online at home when all center’s near me are closed due to COVID until the beginning of the year and I need just my math to have my GED. I’ve taken the GED practice test and got into the green and need to test within the next 2wks so I can start for my certification for my job I have.

          1. Hi Donna! We’re working on making online retakes available for students as quickly as possible. Please look out for new information regarding retakes over the next couple of weeks. Thank you!

        10. Hey can you please tell me why I am not eligible to schedule my test I have already done my ged practice test for maths and I scored in the green

      1. All of you who take GED test, y’all study smartly and hard because you’ll can do it. You all are smarts so be ready to take the GED test!

    2. I don’t know they can’t just let People take it online at home because if the kids in Elementary School and they’re moving onto the next grade why can’t we just take the test online it’s only fair

    3. is this a legit GED test and everything will we receive our diploma in the mail or what?? how does this work?

    4. I don’t understand why you have to do the practice test’s online as a requirement when you don’t in person?

    5. Will since the G.E.D Board or administration is not paying for any of my tests. Why would this administration do such a thing when it is not you’re money. The money which a individual has to pay with. I think that that is very much bias for whom ever came up with policy. In closing again if should be left up to that individual to go ahead and decide to take what ever test/tests they’ve wanted to pay for.

    6. Hello,

I was able to take the Online GED testing two weeks ago (English reasoning and Mathematics) but it won’t let me register for the two other subject that I have left (Science and social studies). I could see the Online testing option when I log in to my account but as soon as I tried registering for a subject it keeps redirecting me to the homepage. I tried calling GED customer service but they couldn’t do anything but they gave me a case number. What do I need to do please? . I need to do the remaining two subject because it’s delaying my admission to My Nursing program.

  3. I have a question. So I’ve went to take classes for GED back I believe 2017? 2018? Ended up having to take math and language arts but with the GED ready I scored most likely to pass. But things happened wasn’t able to continue etc. Will I able to qualify for online GED or so I have to do it all again? It’s no problem if I have to. The only issue I have in regarding the COVID ISSUE IS THAT I’M REALLY SCARED TO GO OUT THERE AND go into the campus to schedule and appointment or schedule and appointment and end up having to go since I’m high risk as well as my mom being worse (she’s going to start kemo therapy and her immune system is going to be really low and I don’t want to risk her of anything). But I now have the opportunity to do so if it’s online. And I really want to finally move forward. Because I want to go to college and expand my experience and knowledge with what I’m trying to do. I’m currently have an online shop to start but I want to create my own name and not use something else for it. Not to be famous, no. But create my own business with my art and slowly with it to also become and illustrator.. But the other requirements I can, will, and do have. I can do the practice tests again. As many times. But the cancelling of the appointment is something I’m just nervous about all cause of being somewhere else other than home.

  7. Hi,
    I am starting college in August and need to show high school equivalency via the GED. I have not taken any GED tests or practice tests yet but I am now ready to focus on the GED. In the description above, there are four items listed that are required to sign up for an online test in the first phase. Does that mean I need all four or can I sign up once I have the Green level on the practice test? If all four are needed for the first phase, when do you expect the next phase to be available for sign up?

    Thank you,

    Sophie Bell

I live in Maryland and I was planning to take the test, which is holding me back to attend a college and complete my dream program. I’ll appreciate if you provide me a way of registering the GED online test.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Stay Safe, Faduma

  48. Could you please clarify an important point: To be eligible to take the GED online, do you need to have ALL FOUR of the criteria or do you need to have SOME of the criteria? I have students from Washington State (which is participating in the online GED tests) who have scored a “Green” on the GED Ready practice test within 60 days. However, as many of these students are new to the process, they have not passed three of four tests (or do not need more than one or two tests) and had not already schedule a test that was canceled. Thank you for this clarification.

    1. Hi Kirsten. Right now priority will go to students who online have one GED test and have scored Green on their remaining GED Ready. As the pilot continues, students that don’t meet the initial requirements for the first phases may be extended an invitation to test. We can not give you a specific date for when you will receive your invitation but we do encourage you to keep studying and preparing for the test.

  49. Hi,

    Do you have to meet all the requirements to be able to test online?
    I started GED classes in January. I didn’t get a chance to pass any tests at the moment. I scored green on the Science practice test. I don’t want to wait forever to pass the test. Do I have a chance to be selected for the online test? I’m in Illinois.

    1. As the pilot continues, students that don’t meet the initial requirements for the first phases may be extended an invitation to test. We can not give you a specific date for when you will receive your invitation but we do encourage you to keep studying and preparing for the test.

  61. I’ve trying to get ahold of the ged testing service aswell as the ROE for two days trying figure out what to do. I attempted to take the online version of the Social Studies GED test and I did the system check,internet check and everything. It was okay until I got into the site 10 minutes before my test time and tried to log on. It wouldn’t load and I kept trying to re-log in and it wouldn’t get past the log in screen. It wasn’t my internet because other sites were working it was only the ged site. And I kept trying to get in but it wouldn’t let me until exactly 15 minutes past the test time,causing me to miss my test and forfeit my payment . I tried to reschedule but now every place I try to schedule a test at is unavailable. This is my last test and I would like at least some answers. I was hoping to begin college but I’m stuck in a rut.

  62. I have passed two of the official test and passed the other two practice test I live in Texas am I eligible for the online test

  73. Does Colorado, more specifically Colorado Springs, participate in the online testing for the official GED test? I only need my math test left and I am done.

  74. For the Math test, it said no scratch paper but I’m sorry how can we solve math problems without being able to write or “draw it out”? Please don’t tell me that computer scratch pad thing is what were supposed to use because thats not the same as using a good old pen and paper and solving math also with the time allowed we would never get it done in time!! Also If we have our own T-18 Calculator are we allowed to use that on test day because that is a GED approved calculator right? Im super concerned here and I just want to pass and get to college already!

    1. Hi, you will only be able to use the computer scratch pad and computer calculator. Thank you.

    2. ya this kind of makes no sense how are you supposed to do math in a notepad like that? you guys need to revisit that part of the rules.

    1. Hi Janet. You’ll need to pass the GED Ready Math practice test and score green to be eligible to test online. If you have done this please look out for an email about when testing will be available to you.

  79. Hello,
    Three of my students scored in the green on social studies Ready in early March. They scheduled the test in March and later that day (3/16?), they received message saying Testing Sites are closed. So if they retake the Ready, will they be included in the list of those eligible to online test soon?

  80. Good afternoon

    Thank you

    1. Hi Kathy! We cannot give you an exact guideline but you should be receiving an email very soon.

  82. Hello, I work for an adult education provider in the Washington DC area. First, is the online test available in Washington, DC? Second, is it true that the new online math portion doesn’t give you the ability to write problems down on a dry erase board or have scratch paper? Any guidance you have about test restrictions for the online test would be helpful since I work with many tutors who are coaching learners trying to pass the GED math test. Thank you.

    1. Hi Daniel. It is offered in Washington DC and students will have a scratch pad on their computer. Watch the video in the blog for more information.

We can not give you a specific date for when you will receive your invitation but we do encourage you to keep studying and preparing for the test.

  89. Why do we have to take pictures of our surroundings? Can’t the proctor see and hear everything we’re doing anyways? What are the protocols around those pictures and the test video? I’m concerned about security.

    Also, how quiet does it have to be? The walls in my building aren’t thick, so I don’t know how to get things pindrop silent, especially when people have fans and air conditioners running. Unfortunately, I can’t just go to another building to take the test.

    Thank you in advance for your time, can’t wait to get my GED!

    1. Hi Rita. You need to take pictures of your surroundings to ensure there is nothing around that could potentially help you cheat. This is the most secure way we can administer the test.

      1. Hi, thank you for your response! I’m afraid you didn’t see the rest of my questions, so I’ve copied and pasted it again underneath. Hopefully it doesn’t glitch this time!

        I’ll expand on this part first though. I understand preventing cheating, no paper nearby, that’s totally understandable. But do I have to literally clear the room of all furniture? And to expand on my previous statement, what are the protocols around those pictures and the test video *after*? (As in, what happens to those pictures after they are sent in? Are they destroyed or is a picture of the inside of my house saved on someone’s computer forever?

        So, now to fully restate my previous question,
        “Also, how quiet does it have to be? The walls in my building aren’t thick, so I don’t know how to get things pindrop silent, especially when people have fans and air conditioners running. Unfortunately, I can’t just go to another building to take the test.”

        Thank you in advance for your time!

  110. Hello, is the online GED testing available in Valdosta, Georgia. I’m trying to take my test through Wiregrass Technical College.

  111. Will we be able to maintain our scores from over the last year if we are unable to test due to covid before our normal score expiration date or will they still expire? I am trying to get a clear answer concerning this as my tests scores for two subjects are due to expire in July. Any hep regarding this question would be very much appreciated.

  112. IMPORTANT. I took the math and scored 144 unfortunetly your GED site shut down while i had 18 min left and 4 unanswered questions i called and a case was made i received an email with a code to retake the test for free, but i would like to know why i have to retake the test when i could have scored 145 if your site didn’t shut down on me ? It was your technical difficulty not mine . I would also like to know why you are only able to take the tests online once ? i failed my social studies and have to retake that and now my math since your site closed on me, but how am i suppose to retake when EVERY school offering the GED is closed in Florida ? So now im not able to proceed with my GED and on to school starting in Aug. personally i don’t understand how that makes sense the online GED is suppose to help people continue on with their diploma and onto their degree.

  113. I was under the impression if you have passed 3 out of 4 test subjects, you would get an email inviting you to test online. The centers near me all closed for months. I have not received an email with the option to test online. I would like to take the test ASAP, as I am missing out on a lot of job opportunities.

    1. Hi Damon. Have you taken and passed the GED Ready practice test? That’s a requirement before being able to test online.

  114. Hi, so I’ve passed 1 of 4 of the tests currently. It would have been 2 of 4, but my test was cancelled due to covid-19.
    Does this online testing only work if I only have 1 test left to do? If so that seems pretty inefficient. I have done the computer compatability test and everything works fine on my laptop and my room is applicable. My question is basically how do I schedule the online test? Or am I not applicable since I’ve only completed 1, it’s just not very clear on this website? I am in Portland Oregon and testing centers are closed for a long time, and I must become a lawyer!

    1. Hi Thomas. As the pilot continues, students that don’t meet the initial requirements for the first phases may be extended an invitation to test. We can not give you a specific date for when you will receive your invitation but we do encourage you to keep studying and preparing for the test

  115. Hi,
    I would really like to take the GED online test if possible. I’ve taken online courses with my local community college and did practice on GED.com. I just turned 18 and I was planning on attending college this upcoming fall semester, but no testing dates are available due to COVID-19. Please let me know if it is possible for me to take the test this summer online.

  116. Do you have to meet all the requirements or one of the four to get an invitation to take the online GED test ?

  117. Hello I have an online test this coming Monday and wanted to make sure my passport and a proof of address by a utility bill is sufficient enough. I know it says its sufficient for testing centers but not sure about online testing. I would like to know before Monday so I can cancel in time.

  118. I live in Illinois and I passed my math ged ready test with a 170. Am I going to be able to test at home? I’ve been waiting for months to finish my ged but none of the testing places are open around me.

    1. I have also passed every GED ready test besides Language Arts but I ended up passing that during the actual GED test with a 149.

  119. Hi. Is Arizona participating in online testing? I have already passed 3 out of my 4 practice tests. Please let me know if this is possible as I am trying to start a collegiate program in September. Thank you!

  120. Hi,

    Just wanted to give some feedback. I passed my Science test online 2 days ago. I passed with a score of 163. So I’m pretty happy.

    I had only one incident during the test. At some point, the test window disappeared to be replaced by a small prompt window. The small prompt window was inviting me to close manually gamerecorder.exe (some app running in the background I wasn’t even aware of). It took me a minute, to don’t panic and launch my task manager to close the app, then close task manager, and the test came back.
    The whole thing was really stressful as I thought the test was over and it wasn’t easy to refocus on the test.
    I am pretty sure other folks will haven’t know what to do… Maybe a “practice the online test” practice (not just a system check) could be helpful.

    I’m currently working on the math test. when doing math, I am taking lots of notes. I don’t see myself solving equations on the little notepad provided or it would take me to triple the time… I hope testing centers will open soon…

  121. Hi I have passed three out of the four and and got a green in the practice test. I have a web cam and voice thing and ran the computer testing program. I live in Florida and I need to be able to complete the last part to keep my job.

    1. Hi Ashley, since you meet all the requirements you should receive an email soon about online testing!

        1. I have received an email telling me that I have passed the practice test and then I’m ready to schedule. But I’m not given the option to take the test online. The closest testing center is over hour away and is only offered in late afternoon or early evening when I don’t have a sitter for my children. I was really hoping to take it online. Please help.

          1. Just received another email telling me to register for the test but still no option for online.

  122. Hi, is Arizona participating in online testing? I have already passed 3 out of 4 practice tests and need to obtain my GED as soon as possible so I can start a college program in September. Please advise. Thank you!

    1. Hi Fernando! As the pilot continues, students that don’t meet the initial requirements for the first phases may be extended an invitation to test. We can not give you a specific date for when you will receive your invitation but we do encourage you to keep studying and preparing for the test.

Now that the score is 150 will it change to green? Can you please let me know because I already pass 3 of my subjects and Math is my last one. Thank you

    1. Hi Ana! To be qualified for online testing you will need to retake the GED Ready and score in the green. The score will not change, thank you!

  126. I pass Ready test, but I did not receive an email about online test, and I do not know how to schedule, can you help me about scheduling?

  131. wanting to schedule a test for science from home and to try and use my home computer to do it on if someone can help me that would be fantastic.

  132. I was moments away from taking my GED Social Studies test online and my screen froze and went completely black, then backed me out of the testing browser. I tried logging back in but it won’t let me. I did the system check several times before taking the exam so I know my computer is compatible. I was chatting with a girl named Monika before it exited out. I shouldn’t lose $30 if I was on my computer ready to test 30 minutes before my exam.

  133. Hello, I live in NJ. I am 16 years old. If I take the GED readiness exam, will I qualify to take the online GED exam?

I was planning on taking the civics practice test so I can qualify to take the online test, but it’s not an option. In my state it’s required to take the civics test to get your GED. Do you know if Arizona is participating in the online testing ? And if not is there anything I can do to be eligible?

I did try and schedule an appointment but the test centers are not open. Please help, I want to take my test so that I can move forward with my career.

    1. Hi Landnisha. Unfortunately you will need a laptop that is compatible with the system.

  148. I’m in Arizona. Will I be able to take the test online as well? And can I use a Mac or do I need to use Windows? If it must be done on Windows, can I use a copy of Windows installed virtually (like VMWare Fusion) or do I need to be running Windows natively? Thank you!

    1. Hi Nikki! Unfortunately there is no set timeline for when the next phases will be rolled out. We’re working to get it done as quickly as possible. Thank you!

  154. Are there options for me to take the online exams. I was scheduled to take my final 2 exams in April, but they have now been rescheduled 3 or 4 times now. I am trying to start college this fall (I am supposed to register for classes next week), but this has become a barrier for me to do that. I know one of the requirements says I need to have passed 3 of 4, but I have not been even given the opportunity to take the 3rd exam. Are there any options for me to take the online versions? OR, are there any places in Arizona that I can actually schedule an exam that won’t get cancelled?

    1. Hi Brynlie! Unfortunately we’re still working on rolling out the next phases of testing online. Test centers are starting to reopen in some states so please keep checking to see if anything close to you opens up in Arizona!

  155. Somebody please help. The online testing was taken off the website (atleast for me) and I don’t understand why. I need my ged done by the end of this month and when I saw the online testing last week I jumped straight to the practice tests. But now as I am ready to finally schedule the whole page has been removed and no longer exists (again, atleast for me). I was just layed off my job and if I don’t get this thing done immediately I am screwed. SERVICE PLEASE HELP

  156. Your site is very frustrating. I need to take the Arizona Civics test but every time I try to schedule for an online test it takes me to testing centers that ate CLOSED! What do I need to do???

    1. Hi Sandra. You should be eligible to take it if your state offers online testing and you scored Green on your math GED Ready practice test.

  159. I’m aware this is not available to international students currently. Will that change or are there no plans to make it available to international students? Will there be exceptions for international students with medical conditions who are high risk who can’t travel to a test center?

  160. Is Washington State participating in online testing? Are you qualified if you’ve pass of the required four tests and have to take two more tests?

  161. I’ve passed two of the 4 required courses. I’ve scheduled my appointment for Social Studies, however, I can’t find a testing site for the math test. I need my GED for work purposes. My question is. If I pass the social studies test and take the GED ready and pass for math, can I then schedule online testing for math?

  163. HI, I PASSED READING, SCIENCE AND LANGUAGE ALREADY. I JUST PASSED MY MATH PRACTICE GED TEST BUT IT IS NOT GIVING ME THE OPTION TO SCHEDULE MY TEST ONLINE FROM HOME NOW.

  165. Hello. Thank you for making online testing available. I live in Arizona and I need to schedule the mathematics portion of the exam. I have passed the other 3 portions but I have not yet received an invite to the online exam. How can I receive this invite? Thank you

Can someone please get back to me so I can take this last test… I really want to take it but I’m kinda stuck at the moment ..

  167. Hi, I was wondering if I could do the online GED test in Florida? I’ve already taken a TABE test and I’m getting ready to take my first portion of the GED, but I don’t know how to get an invite to take the online test.

  168. My daughter became physically disabled, is bedridden and due to the fact that she can not sit upright and take the GED test, hasn’t been able to pursue online college courses. She is quite gifted and has passed the practice tests for the two remaining subjects for the 5th or 6th time.
    When can she expect to receive an online testing invitation? The stagnation is getting a bit stale.

  169. I’ve passed all but math and I have found it extremely difficult that you won’t allow for at home students to use a whiteboard. With that being said, why won’t you allow for retakes of math at home? This is holding me up and I would like to finish but am unable because of your policy.

  170. Hello, I am trying to schedule an online proctored GED test, however it will not allow me to schedule an online exam. I would go to a physical place but due to COVID-19 everything is closed.

  174. Hi I have two subjects left my last tests were cancelled due to work. I work in a hospital and I really need to get these test done. Please tell me I can do them soon?

  175. Dear GED,

    This seems to be a very awesome opportunity for any student to get their GED. Just to clarify, if there is someone who has never taken the GED test but is looking to take all of them, would they be able to do this on GED.com?

    Sincerely,
    Jett

    1. Hi Jett. This is still a pilot program so as such we’re giving priority to those who only have one test left. We hope to continue to expand the program little by little so more students are able to test online.

  176. Hello, I have taken 2 tests from USA and then I have moved to Ireland 8 months ago. I have 2 more tests to take. Can I take those online please?

    Many thanks for your help!

    1. Hi Abu. Since you’re currently international you will not be able to qualify for online testing.

  177. Do we have to meet ALL requirements to qualify for the online test or at least one of them? If that is the case does California participate in this?

  178. As a teacher who has administered standardized tests for over twenty years, I never once heard of students NOT being able to use some sort of scratch paper. I heard that in-person GED uses White Boards. I believe that at-home testing should get the same fair treatment as in-person tests. Many small white boards can be purchased for cheap at any store. NOWHERE is math performed without being able to write it down, especially when it comes to word problems, and for visual learners. I was very disappointed in this. He was only 5 points away from passing, and I was sure he could have passed had he been able to use a white board or a few pieces of scotch paper that could have been verified when he had to take a picture of his work space. The whole session is recorded anyway.

  179. hey, so I have passed three ged tests I just need to pass the math one. I passed the math practice test so I’m wondering when can I expect the online testing to launch. is there a way to schedule it?

    1. Please keep checking your email. You should be able to test soon since you meet the eligibility requirements.

  180. Hello, I’ve been trying to take my ged test. I’ve passed the ged ready test and would really like the option to take it. hoping it applies to florida. please respond thank you!

  181. Hello, I just found about this opportunity to take an online proctored-test after having to cancel my test on April 21, 2020 because all of the locations in Wisconsin closed due to Covid-19. I called because I never received an invite to then find out I have to score green on GED ready. I have completed Language Arts, Social Studies, & Science (3/4) and as of 7/19/2020 I received a green passing score of (153) on my GED Ready for Mathematical Reasoning. I believe I meet all the requirements but there is ONE more thing. I’m a student with accommodations due to my ADHD disability I have extra time on my tests. Will I still be eligible and receive an invite? I live in the state of Wisconsin and would like to know if I’m eligible.

  182. I failed my social studies and math by just a few points. I passed the other two and am going into the military to support my family and I need my GED. The two subjects I didn’t pass aren’t showing on the scheduling anymore. How do I get to take them again, what do I need to do? There aren’t any testing centers open and I have to enroll in the navy as soon as possible.

  183. I am respectfully requesting that GED and Pearson allow me to take my GED Social Studies exam online. I missed my initial appointment due to contracting COVID19 virus.

    I was tested positive for COVID19. The date of
    collection was July 3rd. At that time I was feeling several symptoms
    including shortness of breath and fever. My Social Studies test was
    scheduled for July 5th. On July 8th, I received my test results
    stating that I was POSITIVE for COVID19.

    Because of my health condition – I wasnt in the right state of mind
    and didnt think about rescheduling the test.

    Considering the circumstances – I would like to request a refund for
    the test and also be allowed to take the Social Studies exam online. I did not start the test the first time. I did not log into the GED site the first time either. I simply missed the appointment. I am trying very hard to earn my GED and no testing sites are open at this time because of the effects of COVID19.

  184. Hello how do I get the invitation for the online test?! I only have the math test left. I believe this is my 4rth time asking and no one ever responds. All the locations in my area remain close. I live in Florida. Please respond. Thank you Isabela.

  185. Hi, I started the GED program 2 weeks before covid-19 stay at home was put into place.

    Thank you in advance for your time.

    1. Hi Shyqerije! You should be eligible for online testing if you live in a state that participates in the pilot and if you’ve scored green on the GED Ready practice test in the last 60 days.

      1. i have been waiting and my state is eligible for the test still no notification i also have green on all of my tests

  187. Hi, I’ve been trying to schedule my test for the last month checking to see if any of the testing centers have opened back up. I was very excited to see that it’s now possible to take the test online! However, despite meeting all of the requirements to do so, I still have not received an email saying I can schedule the test. Every time I check the GED site, I am told that I’ve scored green on all of my practice tests, yet when I try to schedule I’m shown only physical testing locations in my state, Florida (which is participating in online testing) and all of which are closed. I would really like to take the test soon and I’m hoping someone can help!

  188. I need to take test online for employment I need to take online ASAP no centers are showing open here in Jacksonville Florida for the next two or three months

  189. Hi I’m Jatniel Jimenez, I am a student of Ogeechee Technical College, Statesboro, Georgia. I have passed 3 of the 4 tests, only missing Social Studies. What can I do to do the GED online testing for my last subject.

  190. Hello I just took the Math practice test and scored a 139, am I eligible to take the test online now or do I have to score higher? Thanks

    1. Hi Eric! You should be eligible to test online once you score Green (passing) on the GED Ready practice test. Once you do so you will get a notification in your account that you can test online.

  191. im trying to reschedule language arts test but it doesnt let me because i was late for my test yesterday i need help please reply to me asap! thank you and have a good day.

    1. Hi Toni! You’ll need to score green on the GED Ready math practice test before being eligible to take the math test online.

  194. I’m wondering why you have to take photos. Are they going to be sent to an email or phone number?

    1. Hi Zaria. You need to take photos of the room for security reasons. What do you mean by the second part of your question?

  195. Hey, I’m trying to schedule my online test, I live in Georgia and they offer it for my state but how do you sign up for the test?

  196. Will the eligibility requirements for online testing change? Testing centers remain closed in my area and are scheduled to remain closed for the foreseeable future. How can students who have more than one test left have the opportunity to earn their GED? Their counterparts doing online school will be able to earn credits and work towards their diplomas but GED students have to stand still right now?

    1. Hi Dorothy. You should be eligible to test online if you have passed the GED Ready practice test in that subject. Anyone is able to do this no matter which test they are on.

      1. I only have two more tests to take…so you’re saying once I pass the GED practice test, I can take it online??

  197. Hi There. I work with youth who (prior to COVID) were working toward completing their GED. I have one individual who meets the criteria for GED online test as he only has Math left to take. He has taken the Pre-test over the weekend and he passed. Will this automatically triger GED.com to send him a notification saying he can test online? Once he receives notification what is his next step to set a date and time or can he take his test at anytime? GESTMiWorks.org is providing a secure testing space, computer, and camera. We also will pay for the test.

    1. Hi Elizabeth. Yes, your student should receive a notification in his account. From there he will schedule his test at a time convenient to him. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  198. Hello, I work for a non-profit organization and part of our program is to get youth GED test ready, as well as schedule them for testing. I have 3 youth who are ready to test on all 4 subjects and so do not meet the criteria of having passed 3 of 4 tests already or having been scheduled for a canceled appointment. Is there any flexibility with the guidelines? These youth have been in our program for over 60 days waiting to take their tests. Any information is greatly appreciated. Locations are in Broward and Palm Beach counties in South FL.

    1. Hi Claudia! Your students should all be eligible for taking the GED test. The only requirement now is that they pass the GED Ready practice test (within 60 days of testing) in whichever subject test they choose to take first. Once they do so they should receive a notification in their student accounts that they’re eligible to test online.

  199. quick question, i did my GED ready test and passed two subjects and failed the other two by very little points i don’t mind paying and retaking it but will it let me take my real ged test after? or is it only for the subjects you passed on the first try.

    thanks

    1. Hi Dayanara. You can take the GED Ready practice test as many times as you need until you pass. Once you do pass you will become eligible for online testing.

  200. Hi I currently have taken one test already, I am finsished studying my next subject and I am trying to schedule my next test but there are no available testing centers and don’t know how to move forward. Please direct me to the right way

    1. Hi Jamie! If you’re looking to test online you’ll need to make sure you’ve passed the GED Ready practice test in that subject at least 60 days before taking the test. Once you do that you should receive a notification in your student account that you’re eligible for online testing. Additionally, make sure your state participates in online testing: https://ged.com/state-information-online-testing/.

  201. Hi I need some help scheduling my test online. I have accommodations for extended time and not sure how to schedule a test. Can you advise what steps to take.

  202. Hi! I was wondering, what web camera you recommend for the GED online Test? And what kind of Apple computer models work for the test? Thanks!

  203. I’m wondering that when our GED Ready score is Green, will it let us know that we are eligible for online GED Testing or not? Doing this from home is really differing to me but, I’m hoping to find out someway or another. 🙂

    I know I have to score a 145 or 200 in the practice test to be able to take the official GED test, online, right?

    1. Hi Madison that is correct. Once you pass the GED Ready practice test you should receive a notification in your student account that you’re eligible to test.

  204. Hello, I am trying to launch the OnVue sample exam from my pc, but the page won’t display correctly on my screen, it’s off centered and the displacement won’t allow me to launch the sample questions. Is there anyway I can fix this so I know I can take the online testing? Thank you.

    1. Hi Bell! We suggest checking or adjusting your display on their monitor. Not sure if it is a custom setting issue but you may need to readjust to recommended settings.

  205. Hi, I completed all the practice tests with a passing “green” score and wanted to know how I can schedule the official GED Online test. I’m in California and they say it’s available, just need help.
    Thank you!

    1. Hi Joshua! Have you received a notification in your student account to schedule your test online?

  206. when I tried to run the online testing application, it told me that all my computer functions worked perfectly fine. Then when I tried to start the sample test, in crashed and gave me a running error. What can I do to fix this?

    1. Hi Julie! You should ensure your internet bandwidth is strong enough and try restarting your machine. If that doesn’t work please call our support line!

      1. I have called the support line and I was bounced around from person to person over the phone and no one will help me fix my issue. What do I do now?

  207. Hello,
    Do you have any information about when remote testing in Spanish is going to become available? Thank you.

  208. Hello I have completed all my practice test with passing scores and am ready for the GED online Test. Can you please tell me how long it will be before I receive my email to get started on the test? I am in Washington state and know it is approved for the online test. I want to take it asap before my 60 days runs out and I completed /passed my practice test 2 weeks ago and still no email from the GED site.

    Can you please help me expedite this so that I can test online?

      1. No I have not. Really anxious to get this info. Is there something further needed on my part. Again I completed all of the practice tests with a green light and that info is all in my account. Please direct me from here.

        1. Again, really anxious to get this info just wondering if its something on my part that I haven’t done of if its something internal. Thanks for your help. Looking out for a response ASAP.

      2. Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. I still have not received any emails or notifications regarding online testing.
        It has been 3 wks since I took and passed all the practices test.

        Please help me with this.
        Sydney

  209. Hi, are students also able to take the Civics test on-line and at home? I am the Education Navigator for Sauk County in Wisconsin and our students are required to pass the Civics test. If they are able to take this test on-line and at home, is there a ready practice test for this as well?

  210. I am a GED instructor at a community college. All of the testing centers are closed for many miles away. I saw the requirements for the online test. When a student does a systems check, will they find out if their webcam and computer is usable for the test? Will they get answers to questions or scheduling for the test through their email or just on this comment board?

    1. Hi John. Yes when they run the systems check they will find out if their camera and computer are usable. For scheduling, they will receive notifications in their accounts to let them know online testing is available to them once they pass the GED Ready practice test.

  211. I have passed all 4 practice tests, completed the system diagnostic, sent emails and still have not received word about being able to take the online tests in Michigan. How long is this supposed to take to hear back?

    1. This is exactly where I am at and can not get any feedback when I ask about actually online test.

      I have received nothing in my student account as well. Hoping one of us gets some info I really need to take the test. Took all my practice tests and passed over 3 wks ago.

  212. what if you don’t have a computer and your test center is close this is not fair to the poor. i got one more test to take but i don’t have a computer to do it on t like what’s was in the video a’lot of people can’t buy a computer cause they got to eat and pay bills whit what little they have.

  213. Hello I have completed all my practice test with passing scores and am ready for the GED online Test. Can you please tell me how long it will be before I receive my email to get started on the test? I am in Washington state and know it is approved for the online test. I want to take it asap before my 60 days runs out and I completed /passed my practice test 2 weeks ago and still no email from the GED site. Also no notifications in my GED accout.

    Can you please help me expedite this so that I can test online?

  214. It doesn’t make any sense why GED doesn’t allow retake online….. HiSET allows it so why not the GED? Many centers are closed and this online testing came in handy for a lot of people but they expect everyone to pass on their first try….

  215. I have not received notification in my student account to take the GED online. I took and passed all my practice test the beginning of August. I know the test must be taken within 60 days of passing the practice test and receiving the Green. It has been a month now and I have not received any info on moving onto the GED online test. I can not get an email back from the GED help service nor can I get a reply from anyone on this blog. I need this GED ASAP I am enrolled in a college program and I must have it to attend.
    Please pass this on to someone that can get me the GED test online or notification sent to my email promptly.

    Thank you

        1. I just moved to Oklahoma I guess they aren’t offering online test? Is this just for the time being? I’m only here till next Summer then going back to Pennsylvania. I dare not walk into a classroom schools are getting closed down left and right.

          1. Hi Michael. Unfortunately Oklahoma does not allow students to take the GED test online.

  216. Hello My name is Monique,

    I was recently enrolled at the Inland Career Education Center location in San Bernardino CA. I have been calling the school office with no response not even a call back. I have left several messages with questions regarding continuing my studies via online. Can you please send me a email back with some more information i would greatly appreciate it. I only had about 1-2 classes left to take and would really like to get them done asap. Thank You for your time.

    1. Hi Monique. It sounds like the adult education center you’re trying to get in contact with may be closed due to Covid-19. We do offer GED Live online classes, which is not associated with your adult ed center but could still help! Here is more information: https://ged.com/study/online-classes/.

  217. Why am I not getting a response back from GED Testing Service. You ask me a question and I reply then I never hear from GED testing service again.

    I live in Washington State. I took the practice test and passed 4 wks ago, I only have 60 days to take the online GED test. I have NOT received anything in my student account. This is super frustrating, clearly someone is monitoring this page but not following up to the questions and responses. I email GED help every day and nothing.

    I seriously just need to take the GED online asap. I am currently enrolled in a program that requires me to have completed the GED or High School Diploma.

    Who can help me? This is about my forth attempt to get help with this on this blog.

    1. Hi Syd. Can you email sarah.leahy@ged.com with your GED student ID number. I will make sure it gets prioritized by our operations team to get to the bottom of why you’re not able to test online. Thank you!

  219. I currently live in Norway and am looking into getting a student visa to move to America. Is it possible for me to get my GED in Norway before I go?

  220. Hi, i was looking at scheduling for online testing and on the page “choose subject for online test” it says “if you would like to schedule your test in another subject you can schedule an in-person test and take it at a test center.” Does this mean I can’t break up my subjects when testing? If i take a single subject i can’t take my others online at a different scheduled date? I have a 6 yr old at home with me most of the day but she has school from 12-3:30 so i couldn’t complete all subjects in that time but if i could schedule the subjects separately it would be fine. Any help is appreciated

    1. Hi Samantha. No you should be able to take every subject online as long as you pass the GED Ready practice test beforehand. You can take them separately and not all at once.

    1. Hi Yolanda. You should be able to take the online GED test now as long as you have taken and passed the GED Ready practice test beforehand!

  221. Hello I recently scheduled the GED Math test for October 2. Are we allowed to use a trackpad while testing? I read somewhere that its allowed. Thank you Isabela

    1. I forgot to mention that I’m taking the online Math test. Are we allowed to use a trackpad for online testing? thanks

  222. Hi, the private room I have access to at a local library has walls that are made of glass. Will this be an acceptable private space? If not, would it be ok if I covered the walls with a sheet or some other kind of covering?
    Thanks.

  223. Hello — We live in California. My son is almost 16 and attends a small private hs which due to COVID will most likely be closing its doors. He is an excellent student (APs, 4.0s) etc and would like to just get a HS equivalency and go straight to a 4 year college. We’ve seen many options for this but they require a GED. One of the issues with CA Is that they require you to be 18 to get a GED. He would have no issue passing this test as he’s already in Calc BC and AP Euro, AP chem, etc as a sophomore. We were made aware that other states like Arizona do not have residency requirements for taking the GED. Can he as a resident of CA (and while still actually in High school) take the proctored version of this test? — Thank you for your response —

    1. Hi!

      There are a few options for underage testing based on the state requirements. We will reach out via email to provide some options related to your situation.

    1. Hi Victoria. You can get started by creating a free account at GED.com. From there you’ll find everything you need to pass the GED. If you want to test online you’ll have to take the GED Ready beforehand. Thank you!

  224. Hi, I didn’t pass my in-person pre-Covid social studies test but now I’m qualified to take the test online but had to pay full price and not the retake price. Is this correct? Thanks.

  225. Hey I wanted to know if you guys accept chrome OS and windows PC or Mac Software when taking the official ged test

  226. Hi, I scored green on GED Math practice test Sept 10, but I couldn’t re-take the test until Oct when re-take would be available online. I’ve been studying, and I have to re-take it again by Nov 9/10th to stay within my 60 days of scoring green. My question is, I am thinking of taking another Ready-practice test before scheduling the official test, if for some reason I don’t score green on it, will I still be able to use the first green score(Sept 10th one) to take the Official test? Or will it knock me out even though the first greens core test is still within the 60 day period, just wanted to take a second one before taking the official? Thanks

    1. Hi Sandra! You only need to get a GED Ready Green once per subject and schedule your test within 60 days. If you do that then there won’t be any GED Ready requirements that stop you from scheduling a 2nd test in the subject. This means if you don’t pass the GED Ready a second time it won’t affect you being able to test.

      1. Hello again, I didn’t get to re-take my math test within the 60 days of scoring green(in September) on GED ready for certain family reasons, ( i failed the first math test online back in August). Do I need to score green again on another GED Ready/practice test to take the Math test? I have another question as well. I’ve read where there are discounts on re-takes if you fail the main test, where the re-take test are offered at 20$ instead of 40$? I live in Georgia, do you know if this is still a valid offer and available online?. Thanks in advance.

        1. Hello; GED Testing Service, No-one is even going to try to help with the second part of my question? Just skipped over…..

  227. Hi, I scheduled my math test for today at 5:15 PM and showed up at the expected time; which is 30 minutes before the exam. However, I could not access the exam nor reschedule as the website was giving glitches. I even tried a different computer, but was still unsuccessful. Now I lost my retest free and my chance to take the exam online. Is there any way someone can get back to me, so that we can resolve this issue as this is your website’s problem and not mine? I took the system run test as well and have passed three other subjects fine, but not sure why this one ended up like this. It’s also COVID-19 and none of the testing centers close by are available for me.

  228. Hi ok so my question is I now just moved to Mississippi but have taking the GED in 2012 or 2013 is there anyway to pull my information from my last time taking it to now I know I failed only 1 part of the test just don’t remember but if I failed does that mean I have to retake the whole thing over again being it has been so long ago? Thank you

    1. Hi Katherine. Unfortunately since you took the tests before 2014 you will need to restart over again. The test changed in 2014, which is why you need to take them all again. Please email help@ged.com with any more questions and they can assist you in getting started.

    1. Hi Abdalla. Yes the GED test exists in Egypt. You can start by creating a free account at https://ged.com/en/. However, we do not offer the online test internationally, meaning you will need to take it in person.

  229. I have completed all my high school credits except for 0.5 credit for English and i am unable to take my ged tests. I have an alert and i have contacted my location ged office and are requesting i retake everything again for a third time, how do i fix this?

  230. If a parent is paying for the GED test fees, will a parent have to sign up for their own account separate from their kid? Thanks!

  231. Hello I do have 2 retest to do it has been a long time since I have taken my test ,how can I get that information so I can complete my GED testing

  232. I am an international student who currently resides in California on a student visa (F-1). I’ve been living in California for more than a year, so am considered a California resident. Would I be allowed to take the test while I’m in California?

  233. I was wondering if there’s a new updated version of the GED testing. I took a test in 2019 and didn’t know if I needed to get a new updated book for 2020, (my book is 2018) or if I can still continue to use my book that I have now.

    1. Hi Marisa. You’re not able to see your GED test after to see what you did wrong. However, GED will provide you with a score report that details the skills you need to work on. Thank you!

  234. I was trying to take my Social Studies test today but the proctor wasn’t able to release the test correctly or there were some technical issues. I tried to call twice and was left on hold for over 20 minutes. I was never able to take the test! Now I can’t reschedule? (I passed the systems test.)

    1. Hi Ashley! I would encourage you to reach out to the help desk on our contact us page. Sometime these things happen if there was a large volume of testers and greeters not being available. You attempted to sit for the exam on 1/9/21 which was a Saturday. You may have had limited Greeters during that date and if large influx of OP testers could have been the most likely cause for you not getting picked up.

  235. The website talks about being able to retake the GED sections to improve your score. There is nothing that says retaking the tests have to be done in person. When I try to schedule to retake a section online, I’m told that is not allowed and I’ll have to go to a testing center (the closest testing center is over 100 miles away). Shouldn’t this be fully explained on the website instead of it coming across as some kind of trick at the end? In a chat, I was told it was so as not to prevent access to someone else who needed to get their GED. That makes no sense when there were slots available through the entire 24hr period. No one seems to be able to give a good explanation for this strange policy. If I failed a section the first time, there apparently would be no problem with my retaking it online. Isn’t there something that can be done to make these retests available online?

  236. My cousin moved to the US from Italy a short while ago and would like to take the GER exam.
    We were wondering if the exam is offered to take in the Italian language since she is not fluent in English?
    Please help

    1. Hi Marc! You will need to pass the GED Ready practice test before taking the real test online. Once you do this you can take the tests at any time!

  237. hi I took the G.E.D test sometime ago in a testing center and just need to take the math part of it because I needed 40 points to to pass .don’t know how it works now that it’s online. I live in nyc so how can I register to take the math part of it

    thanks

  238. I took my language arts test in 2016 and passed it, I took my science test in 2016 and passed it and than I took my social studies test in 2018 and passed that one as well. Now all I have left is the math test and I’m just worried that all my other tests I passed will expire and I will have to take them all over again. Is there a chance they will expire since I haven’t completed all the subjects yet?

    1. Hi Primativa! Since you took all of the tests after 2014 they will not expire. Once you have passed the math you will have officially gotten your GED!

  239. I am wondering how to get the paperwork in that my son needs to take the test? There are no sites open and he was told he can email them but we are having problems with that. Can you help us?

  242. Hi! I am 17, but I am unable to get my ID for a while due to covid, is it possible for me to take my GED online, or do I have to wait? Thank you!

  243. hi I scored green in all of my practice tests and it’s telling me I need to score green to take the online tests why is that??

    1. Hi Angel. When did you score green on your practice tests? To take the test online you’ll have needed to score green in the past 60 days.

  244. Are there any chance for GED At Home Edition ( online ) to set up the system and available in Bangkok, Thailand during this pandemic period?

  245. I took the English test online which I passed so the next day I decided to schedule for the math test online but it won’t let me schedule it online only at a center.

    1. Hello. I had taken 2 of the GED exams online, however for the third exam which is social studies, I didn’t pass the exam twice, and my state requirements for the GED examination retakes before getting a 60 day retake policy wait is on the 3rd attempt, and I had only retaken my exam twice, I still have the third attempt to try on, although it’s saying I can’t reschedule my exam due to the 60 day policy. I am registered in Oregon, and my state gives 3 attempts, I need to be able to get through third attempt since I’ve only retaken the exam twice.

  246. I’m looking to take the online GED test. I work M-F & have a 3 month old. Is it available on weekends or only during the week? It won’t let me look at scheduling unless I purchase the practice test.

    1. Hi Tabitha. Yes you will be able to take the GED tests on the weekends! We also offer online testing so you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

  248. Most people are interested in reading this post since it provides information regarding the recently released Official Online GED Test. In-depth information about the popular topic is provided here. This story about online test takers was really interesting to me, and I hope there will be more like it in the future.

  249. Hi. I’m trying to help my son with getting his final GED exam up and running and the software continues to alert him that there is a session of Microsoft Word open on this computer. He’s taking the test from a MacBook – the same computer he took the first three exams on – which has NO VERSIONS OF ANY MICROSOFT software installed anywhere on the machine.

    He attempted the Math GED 3x in one session and each time it let him in the test only to boot him out. The test proctor told him to hit “command + Q” which exited him from the GED.com software and at that point – after three failed attempts to enter the test (which he already took once, again on this same machine) he gave up. Please advise – can he use his desktop PC if we get him a camera and mic? He’s only using the Mac because it has the built-in camera and mic for the test proctor.

    Thank you,

  250. The Online Proctored GED Test is a game-changer! Being able to take the test from home with a live proctor is so convenient, especially during these challenging times. I love that they’ve maintained the same test content and pricing. Remember to stay cautious and only access the official online GED test through GED.com to avoid fraud. For those not eligible, the online resources like GED Live and GED Flash seem like great options to prepare effectively. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!
