It doesn’t matter when you left school.
The exam offers adults who never completed high school the chance to obtain an equivalent credential.
The GED® is computer-based and has four independent modules (subtests) in Social Studies, Language Arts, Science, and Math.
You have the option to sit for the four GED modules one at a time. So prepare for one subject test, pass that part, and move on to the next subtest.
For details about the recently launched GED online proctored test (available in most GED-using states), check the bottom of this page.

Introducing An Online GED Testing Option
The GED exam was, until recently, not offered online. To secure their high school equivalency diploma, students had to come, in person, to an official HSE (high school equivalency) testing center, and this still applies to South Carolina.
But the introduction of an online proctored GED test has now put an end to that in most states. More information can be found in this post: ‘Introducing the online GED test.’ Online GED testing is NOT available in South Carolina and New York State.

GED Passing Score
Your GED results are calibrated on a 100 to 200 scale. The minimum score on each of the four modules is 145, and there is no averaging. So your overall result needs to be 580 or higher.
100-144: Below Passing Score; 145-164: High School Equivalent Score; 165-174: College-Ready Score; 175-200: College-Ready Plus Credit Score (up to 10 college credits, depending on the school and the academic program).
