GED Classes Nampa Idaho

In this article, you can discover all GED prep facilities and testing sites in the Nampa region. Idaho uses the totally computerized GED exam for its high school equivalency testing program.

The GED test is available online and at state-recognized testing facilities.

The GED exam offers individuals who couldn’t complete high school another shot at earning an equivalent diploma.

Testing takes place at a level similar to that of graduating high school seniors.

You can get all set for the challenging GED test at one of the sites listed on this page, but you can also sign up for a good, entertaining, and accredited online course like the program developed by Onsego Online GED Prep.

There are four GED subtests that assess a candidate’s academic proficiency in these areas:

• Mathematical Reasoning
• Science, including Physics and Chemistry
• Reasoning through Language Arts
• Social Studies, including Economics, History, and Geography

You can take these four GED subtests (independent modules) one or more at a time and in any order.

In the past, online GED testing was not offered. You needed to show up in person, at an official Idaho GED testing site.

Now, with the introduction of an online, proctored GED testing option, that has changed. Read more below.

Online GED Testing

Sitting for the GED test via the Internet was, until recently, not possible. There just was no online GED test. If you wished to earn an Idaho GED credential, your personal appearance at one of Idaho’s official GED test sites was required.

Well, now that has all changed with the arrival of an online proctored GED testing option. An online proctor guides you through the process and checks if you do it all according to the regulations. For more information, visit this page: ‘Online GED Testing Introduced.’

GED Passing Score

The GED passing score is 145 on each subtest, so you must score 580 points or more overall, and averaging is not possible. There is no need to take the battery of four tests in a row.

The GED exam includes four individual tests (modules) that you can take one by one at the time you are prepared enough for one of them. You may also register and pay for one test when you feel secure to do so.

The four tests are calibrated on a 100 to 200 scale. There are four GED scoring ranges:

• 100-144: below passing
• 145-164: high school equivalency
• 165-174: college-ready
• 175-200: college-ready + college credits (up to 10, depending on the college or university and the subject)

The GED passing score is set at such a difficulty level that some 40 percent of all high school seniors could not attain passing scores on the first try.
