Is the NY GED Exam free?
Yes. For New York State residents, the GED exam is free, as are the GED practice tests available on this website. While most states let test-takers pay for the exam, New York State foots the bill for its residents, as state laws require the state to pay for high school equivalency testing. Three more states offer the High School Equivalency Exam at no charge, while several states partially subsidize GED testing.
