The Online GED Test

In the past, taking the GED exam over the Internet was no option. You needed to show up in person at one of Maryland’s state-approved GED test facilities if you wanted to earn a Maryland GED diploma.

Well, now that has changed. You now have the option to sit for the GED exam in an online, proctored format. The proctor will oversee your testing activities and check if you do everything in accordance with some pretty strict regulations. Visit ‘The Online GED Test‘ to learn more.

Your Future

Maryland subsidizes GED testing, and the entire GED battery will set you back just $45 in the state. GED testing in Maryland is only for state residents. Please note that this reduced rate only counts for 1st-time GED test-takers. All others pay the regular Maryland GED testing fee of $36 per module($144 in total).

Studying and preparing for the GED exam has become a necessity, as many multiple-choice questions have been done away with in favor of mathematical questions that are more interactive and computer-based essays that require critical thinking and social studies skills.

The instructional GED model is more true to life and better reflects the expectations and requirements of the modern-day workplace. Successful test-takers will now be better equipped to deal with real-life situations.

Once you’ve secured your GED, you will qualify for better-paying jobs and job promotions. Workers with a GED make, on average, some $9,600 more on an annual basis than workers without a GED or high school diploma.

GED cost in Maryland

For first-time applicants, each GED sub-exam costs $14.25 (so $57 for the full GED battery). All others pay the regular fee of $144 ($36 per sub-exam). So, Maryland subsidizes $21.75 per sub-exam, but only for first-time applicants on their first attempt at each of the four GED modules, both taken online and at a GED test center.

Maryland does not subsidize GED retests. To take advantage of this great offer, apply the discount code MDGED2175 when paying for your GED subtest. To schedule and pay for your subtests, you need to set up your account on the GED.com website.
