Online GED Testing
To be able to take the GED test, there was never an online option. If you wanted to get hold of your GED credential, you needed to come to an official Florida GED testing center and sit for the four GED modules in person.
Well, that has changed with the arrival of a new online GED test, though Florida suspended the online GED test on Jan-10-24. An online proctor will guide you through the entire test-taking process. Check out this post: ‘Online GED test introduced,’ for more information.
Four Timed GED Tests
When the latest computerized GED test was introduced a few years back, all earlier test results had expired and could no longer be carried over. Students with incomplete testing results had to begin all over again and needed to register for the GED exam as first-time candidates.
The GED exam still provides the chance to acquire a second education credential but goes much further and also measures career and college readiness skills needed for further academic education and the contemporary workplace.
The GED exam version comes with four separate tests that cover:
- Language Arts (155 minutes and includes a 10-minute break. This test also includes a 45-minute extended response (essay)
- Mathematics (120 minutes and includes an on-screen calculator-allowed section)
- Science (90 minutes and includes a few short answer subjects)
- Social Studies (70 minutes)
