Introducing Online GED Testing

It is now also possible to take the GED exam online. It used to be that GED test-takers needed to report personally to a state-approved Arkansas GED testing site when they wanted to earn their Arkansas GED diplomas.

But now, with the arrival of an online proctored GED testing option, that has changed. To qualify, GED hopefuls need to have attained “green” scores on the official GED Ready® practice test. More details can be read here: introducing the online GED exam.

Modular GED

The GED test has four separate subtests (modules) that can be taken independently. So you can prepare for one test, pass that part, and move on to the next section. You only need to pay for the part(s) you register for.

To pass, you must reach at least a score of 145 on each of the subtests. Registration, test scheduling, payments: everything must be done online at GED.com, where you need to create your personal account at the portal MyGED.

The GED program is for people who never finished high school. The diploma or certificate that you will be given upon successfully completing the GED test is recognized and accepted as equivalent to a high school diploma by employers, colleges, and government institutions across the United States.

The GED exam tests elementary subject areas that students learn in high school. The GED (General Education Development) program is developed to give adults another chance to obtain a credential that is comparable to a high school diploma.
