GED Classes Buffalo New York

This page lists all GED prep locations and testing sites in the Buffalo area. Online GED testing is not available in New York.

New York used the TASC exam for high school equivalency testing purposes from 2014 through 2021, but switched back to the GED test as the TASC was discontinued.

This website offers free GED online classes and practice tests that help you get started with your GED preparation and let you find out if our online learning approach is a good study option for you.

If so, we advise you to register with Onsego GED Online Prep, a full-scope program that GED Testing Service has designated as “totally aligned to the GED test.”

The GED exam offers individuals who were unable to graduate from high school the opportunity to earn an equivalent degree. If you have already passed parts of the TASC exam, you can transfer these results to the GED.

In New York, GED testing is free, as are our free GED lessons and practice tests, and is only available to state residents.

Four independent GED Sub-exams

The GED exam has four independent modules (sub-exams) that assess a candidate’s proficiency in the fields of

• Math
• Science
• Language Arts (writing and reading in one test)
• Social Studies

The GED exam assesses knowledge and skills at a level that is similar to those of high school graduates.

The GED (General Education Development) test is fully computer-based and available only at certified testing sites. New York State doesn’t offer the GED test in an online format.

New York: No Online GED 

Taking the online GED test is not an option in New York. You may, however, be eligible for taking the GED exam online in a state without any residency requirement. Then, you’ll first need to attain green scores (“Likely to Pass”) on the GED Ready official practice test.

For each GED subtest, there’s a GED Ready practice test, so that’s four GED Ready tests in total, available on the website GED.com for $7.99 each. Onsego students who are signed up for the Advantage Plan receive four GED Ready test vouchers free of charge, a $32 value! Check here -> to read all about the online GED test.

Should we list or delist a facility? Are adjustments required? Please inform us here.
