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.

Well, this has changed now with the introduction of the online proctored GED testing option. To learn more, check the information at the bottom of this page.

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 now changed. Recently, we saw the launch of a new 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.’
