Some students do better studying under the guidance of a teacher. If you’re one of them, contact one of the prep sites listed on this page.
Online GED testing had, until some years ago, never been possible. You were always required to come to a state-designated test center and sit for the tests in person.
Well, this has changed with the introduction of the online proctored GED testing option. To learn more, check the information at the bottom of this page.

What’s on the GED Test
There are four GED subtests that can be written one at a time if wished. The four subtests cover:
- Language Arts
- Social Studies
- Math
- Science
You can take these subtrests separately and in any order.
Introducing Online Proctored GED Testing
In the past, you couldn’t take the GED exam via the Internet. If you wanted to secure your GED diploma, you always had to present yourself at an official Virginia GED testing facility.
This has changed, as we saw the launch of the online GED testing option. Qualifying GED students now have the choice to take the GED test from the comfort of their homes.
An online proctor will monitor their testing activities and check if everything happens in line with the rules. If you would like to read about this great new development, go to ‘The online proctored GED test.’
