WHAT IS THE GED® TEST?

Florida adults who don't have a high school diploma can earn a high school equivalency credential by taking the GED® Test. The GED® exam is actually a battery of four sub-tests which can be administered only through Official GED® Testing Centers and cannot be taken online. The GED® test credential is recognized nationwide and is accepted by more than 95% of U.S. employers, colleges and universities.

The GED® features a variety of question types, including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, and essay.

The four sub-tests are:

• Mathematics
• Reasoning through Language Arts
• Science
  
• Social Studies
  

In 2016, the Florida State Board of Education approved a change to the score required to pass the GED® test to 145.
