It doesn’t matter when you left school.
The assessment is offered exclusively on a computer and in English and Spanish.
GED® testing occurs via four separate modules (subtests) in Social Studies, Math, Literacy, and Science, that you can take one module at a time.
Until recently, online GED testing was not an option. You were required to show up at a Texas HSE (High School Equivalency) testing site and take the tests in person.
This has changed now, however, as we’ve seen the launch of a GED online proctored test-taking option as well. Read more at the bottom of this page.
