The GED exam is a set of four separate tests developed for people who never finished high school.
This way, they can earn an equivalent degree. Testing is done at a level that compares to that of graduating HS seniors.
The exam has four individual subtests in Literacy, Social Studies, Math, and Science. These four tests can be completed separately.
It used to be that online GED testing was not possible. However, this has recently changed with the introduction of a new online test-taking option. Read more below.
Testing happens at a level comparable to what high school seniors must command upon graduation.

Online GED testing made possible
Until recently, GED testing over the internet was not an option. To get hold of your Minnesota GED credential, your personal appearance at one of Minnesota’s state-designated GED testing sites was required. You had to take the four GED subtests face-to-face.
Now, with the arrival of a new online GED testing option, that has all changed. To learn more about this change, go to this page ‘The introduction of a new, online GED testing option’.
