The GED test is a four-part series that measures students’ readiness for college and careers. All parts must be completed or passed before the deadline. If this is not done, you must start over again with the new version of the test. That means not only retaking the tests but also repaying.
The High School Equivalency Test/GED is only available at official testing centers, on a computer.
- Prepare for the test: Study materials are available for purchase through GED.com. Some colleges may offer GED testing courses.
- Take the test: By going to https://ged.com.
- Cost: The cost of each test is approximately $30 and there are four tests for a total of $120. Tests can be paid for online with a credit card.

- Photo ID – Must be current and include your signature.
- If you are under the age of 19 you must have the Approval to Test Form, signed by a school official and parent/guardian.
