Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the GED® test like?
The GED® test has been updated to make sure it measures what graduating high school seniors know and what colleges and employers will expect of you. It is offered on computer (paper available for accommodations only). It has four (4) parts:

• Science (90 minutes)
• Social Studies (90 minutes)
• Reasoning Through Language Arts (150 minutes including a 10-minute break)
• Mathematical Reasoning (90 minutes)

What is the passing score?
On the GED® test, you need to earn at least 150 points on each subject to pass. To find out if you’re likely to pass, take the GED Ready™: The Official Practice Test, which is the only test that can tell you if you’re likely to pass.
