It doesn’t matter when you left school.
So the latest GED edition has four subtests (modules) instead of the earlier five. The modules cover Science, Mathematics, Language Arts, and Social Studies.
The current GED test must be taken exclusively on a computer which is understandable because, in the contemporary job market, there aren’t many positions (also not at the entry-level) that do not involve some sort of keyboarding or computer skills.
So GED testing results from before January 2014 do not count anymore toward your GED diploma. Old scores are void and all test results for all subject tests must be achieved in 2014 or later. No exceptions!
So if you took the GED test years ago and passed most subject tests but not all, your scores do not count. You will have to start all over again, but the advantage is that you can take the four subject tests one at a time. No need to do it all in one take as in earlier days.
