High school equivalency

GED

The GED test is a U.S. high school equivalency exam with four separate subjects: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. You need 145 on each subject. Fees, age, residency, retakes, and online testing depend on your state and on whether you test at a center or online. Passy does not give the official test, score GED Ready, or award the credential.
