What is the GED Test?
The GED Test offers those who left school an opportunity to earn a high school credential. GED examinees must demonstrate major skills (twelfth grade competencies that would have been acquired in a four-year high school education) in a battery of tests covering five major subject areas: Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Language Arts Writing, and Language Arts Reading. The GED tests are administered many times a year.

GED test scores are valid for three years from the date of the first GED test taken. The GED Testing Service will introduce a new form of the GED test in the near future. Anyone who had started GED testing but failed to complete the testing successfully when the new form is released must begin the
entire GED test again, including all fees.
