So, a GED will bring you and those around you a brighter future. The GED diploma is recognized nationwide as the equivalent of a high school diploma.
The Online GED Test
In earlier days, GED testing was not available online. To earn a Minnesota GED diploma, you were required to appear at an official test center to take the four subtests.
Well, that changed some years back with the introduction of the online proctored (O.P.) GED testing format. To learn more, go to this post: ‘Introducing the online GED test.’
To qualify for online GED testing, you must first reach passing scores (‘green zone’ results) on the official practice test, GED Ready. This applies to each GED subtest, so you need to pass four of these tests.
Each GED Ready practice test costs $7.99, which means you can add $32 to your total Minnesota GED testing fees.
Free GED Ready Test Vouchers
If you choose to get all set for the GED test with one of Onsego’s Advantage Plans, you won’t have to buy the GED Ready practice tests. These plans include four free vouchers for these practice tests at no additional charge, a $32 bonus!
Advantage Plans by Onsego are an affordable way to prepare for the GED exam. There is already a 6-month plan available for only $79, and also this option includes, besides several more free extras, the four free GED Ready Vouchers.
Should we make adjustments? Do we have to add or unlist a facility? Please advise us here.
