GED Cost

In California, the GED exam will set you back $164 ($41 per subtest) for both online and on-site testing, and the exam is completely computerized. The HiSET exam is offered on paper and on a computer and costs slightly less than the GED.

Practically all higher education institutions, licensing boards, and branches of the armed forces accept the diploma awarded upon successful completion of the GED and HiSET exams, as they accept a high school diploma.

Your Future

There are more than 4 million job positions that cannot be filled in the U.S., mainly due to a shortage of qualified applicants.

All these jobs require you to hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Remarkably enough, we see around 40 million individuals who, for some reason, did not complete high school.

If only one in ten of these people got their GED certificate, the problem would be nonexistent, and the economy would be functioning as it should. The shortage of qualified workers significantly affects our economy as a whole.

Acquiring the GED diploma boosts your options for a well-paying job. There are enough available, but you will need to have a secondary education degree.

Online GED and HiSET Testing

The GED and HiSET exams are also available online. In the past, to earn your HSE diploma, you had to take the exam at a state-licensed testing center.

Well, that changed a few years back with the introduction of the online proctored GED and HiSET exams.

To learn more about online HiSET testing, check out: ‘The HiSET Exam At Home.’

To get informed about online GED testing, visit: ‘The online GED test explained.’

You are only allowed to take the GED test online if you have achieved ‘green’ results on the official practice test from GED Testing Service, GED Ready.

For each GED subtest, there’s a GED Ready test, so that’s four overall, setting you back an additional $32 ($7.99 per test) on top of the California testing fees.

Onsego My Advantage students receive four GED Ready Test Vouchers for free as part of their plan, a great $32 savings.

These plans offer a very affordable way to get all set for the GED or HiSET exam, starting at only $79, and include many free extras, such as four GED Ready vouchers.
