GED
(GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT TESTING PROGRAM)
Admission > TEST INFORMATION > GED
The General Educational Development (GED) exam is a group of four tests that assess an individual's knowledge of academic subjects typically taught in high school. Test takers who pass all four sections earn a certificate of completion from the state where the test was held. This certificate is regarded by many employers, colleges and post-secondary schools as an equivalent of a high school diploma.
TEST STRUCTURE
· Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA, 150 mins): Ability to read closely, write clearly, and edit and understand written text.
· Mathematical Reasoning (115 mins): Quantitative & algebraic problem solving
· Science (90 mins): Life science, physical science, earth and space science.
· Social studies (70 mins): Civics and government, U.S. history, economics, geography and the world
SCORING
The GED test score ranges from 200 to 800 and compares your performance in a content area to the performance of a graduating high school senior. The average standard score is 500 for each content area, but a minimum of 450 is required to pass. The total minimum passing score is 2250 points. You will receive a diploma and report card upon passing.
Students can retest in one content area a total of three times a year. The GED saves the scores of the subjects that you passed, and combines them with the scores you receive when you take the test again. In most states, students can retest three times on the same subject without waiting. After the third attempt, you have to wait 60 days before trying again. Students are legible to take the exam once they are 17 years and 10 months old
