Your Future
Among the best ways to kick-start your career or get into college, training school, trade school, or university in Minnesota is investing in your education.
Particularly when you have not finished your four years of high school education, it may be very difficult to make any progress in any professional field or continue your education, and this is precisely where the GED diploma can play an important role.
Advancement on the work floor and progression in higher education will definitely boost the quality of life for you and those around you.
Don’t forget that the path toward achieving a better life begins as soon as you have decided to go the GED way. People with a GED (or high school diploma) usually make up to $10,000 more per year than those without a secondary education credential.
Online GED Test
In earlier times, GED testing was not offered online. You had to appear at one of Minnesota’s state-approved GED test centers, and you had to sit in person for the four GED subtests.
A few years ago, however, we saw the introduction of an online, proctored GED test, which changed that. You can find more information here: ‘Introducing the online GED test.’
To be eligible for online GED testing, you must first achieve ‘green’ results on the GED Ready practice test from GED Testing Service.
This applies to each of the four GED subtests, making it four of these practice tests in total. Each GED Ready test costs $7.99, so you can add $32 to your total Minnesota GED costs.
Free GED Ready Test Vouchers
If you prepare for your GED test with an Advantage Plan by Onsego, you won’t need to buy the GED Ready tests, as these plans include four GED Ready vouchers at no additional charge, a wonderful $32 value bonus!
Advantage Plans by Onsego are actually quite affordable. They are already available at $79 (for the 6-month option). This plan includes the four free GED Ready vouchers as well, in addition to more free extras.
