The Online GED Test

Taking the four GED modules online had never been an option. To get your Washington State GED credential, you were required to show up in person at one of the state’s designated GED testing sites.

Well, a few years ago, this changed with the introduction of the online proctored GED test.

If you qualify for online GED testing, you will see an online proctor who will monitor you to ensure that you do everything in accordance with strict regulations.

If you want to get more information, please visit this page: ‘The online GED test.’
