How the plan sets your priorities
Your GED score report (My Scores, per subject) shows how you did in each subject test. Use it to rate each one below; the planner doesn't need exact scores. So the planner asks you instead: the subject tests you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.
Each subject test starts from its share of the exam (the official outline publishes no weights, so the planner uses an even split), multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all subject tests. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
Retake rules for the GED
At a test center you can retake a subject twice with no wait; if you haven't passed within your first three attempts, wait 60 days before the next attempt and between every attempt after that. Online, you get one retake, then a 60-day wait after two online attempts at a subject. States may add rules, and GED Testing Service waives its fee for two discounted retests taken within 12 months of the first full-price test.
- Two official GED pages word the test-center rule slightly differently: Top FAQs ('If you don't pass within your first 3 attempts, you'll need to wait 60 days') and Test Retakes ('two subsequent retests, with no restrictions between retakes. If you fail the third or any subsequent retest, you must wait 60 days'). The summary follows Top FAQs.
- Retake prices vary by state; after one reduced-price retake the price returns to the regular price (Test Retakes FAQ).
- Retesting a passed subject for a higher score needs approval from help@ged.com in most states.
