GED Online Testing
In earlier times, taking the GED exam over the Internet was never an option. Personal appearance at one of New Jersey’s test centers was required.
Well, that changed a few years ago with the introduction of the online GED test. You can read all about the online proctored GED exam on this page: ‘The online GED test.’
Note that to qualify for online testing, you first need to reach passing scores on the GED Ready test. There’s one of these tests for each testing subject, so that makes four in total.
The GED Ready test costs $7.99 each, so you can add $32 to your New Jersey GED testing expenses if you write the exam online.
Free GED Ready Tests
Onsego GED students with an Advantage plan save $32 since their plan already includes four GED Ready vouchers at no cost, a wonderful $32 value bonus!
These plans are quite affordable. There is already one for $79, an option that also includes the four GED Ready vouchers, access to all GED study materials from day 1, and many more free extras.
Do we have to add or unlist a location? Are adjustments required? Please inform us here.
