The Online GED Test
To take the Florida GED exam, there had never been an option over the Internet. That is, until recently! To secure your Florida GED degree, you needed to come to an official state-approved GED testing site and pass the four GED subtests.
Well, the introduction of a new, online, proctored GED testing possibility has changed all of that. Visit ‘The online GED exam’ to learn all about this option. Be aware, though, that Florida suspended the online version of the GED exam.
