Texas residents can receive financial aid for the costs of the GED test. Read more below.

The GED test is only available in a computer-based format, and you can take the GED test online or at an official GED test center.

Texas GED Testing Requirements

  • In Texas, you need to be 16 years old to qualify for GED testing.
  • 16 & 17-year-olds, however, need to meet additional strict requirements.
  • They must, for example, be officially withdrawn from public school and have consent from a parent or guardian.
  • 16-year-olds may also qualify if they submit a court order indicating they can earn a GED. Please contact a testing center near you for details.
  • GED testers can not hold a high school or equivalent diploma.
  • They also can not be registered for any other education program.
  • In Texas, GED testing is only available to state residents.
  • In Texas, test-takers do not have to take any prep course or pass the GED Ready® practice test first, but this doesn’t count for online testing.

Texas GED Cost

If you sit for the GED exam at one of Texas’ official testing facilities, the price of the full GED test is $145 (or $36.25 per subject), and that includes 2 free retakes. Students 21 and older can apply for financial support and receive GED Test vouchers.

These vouchers are used as payment for the GED test. So, in fact, GED testing in Texas is subsidized, and qualifying students don’t need to pay for the exam. There are a few requirements that GED candidates need to fulfill. Get familiar with all the details here -> free GED testing in Texas.

If you take the Online Proctored GED exam, each subtest costs $42.25, so the full online GED battery will set you back $169. To qualify for online testing, however, you need to attain passing scores (in the “green” or Likely To Pass zone) on the GED Ready practice test available at GED.com for $6.99. There is one GED Ready test for each of the four GED sub-exams, so that means an extra cost of $28.

GED Prep Classes In Texas

You can prepare for the GED test very well by studying online, but you may also choose a traditional GED prep class at a Texas education center near you. Click on your nearest city to discover all the options.

The GED exam offers a great opportunity for adults who did not graduate from high school to acquire a credential that is generally accepted as equivalent to a high school diploma. This list includes all GED and former HiSET test centers. If a test center does NOT offer the GED exam, we would appreciate it if you inform us here.

Are perhaps some updates and/or adjustments needed? Is perhaps a former HiSET test center listed that does NOT offer the GED exam? We welcome your contributions. Please inform us here. Your cooperation is highly appreciated. Thank you.

What’s On The GED Test?

The GED includes four subtests (modules) that can be taken separately (Language Arts, Science, Math, and Social Studies). In the state of Texas, you can take the GED exams in English and Spanish.

The high school equivalency diploma that you receive upon successful completion of the exam will improve job options and open doors to a college education.

Online GED Testing

So, the GED exam can be taken in person at an official testing center or online. As said before, to qualify for online GED testing, students need to score “green” on the GED Ready official practice test.

In the past, students were required to come to an official, state-designated test center, but that has changed. You can learn more here -> The online GED exam.

GED Scoring

The GED passing score is 145 on a 100-200 scale, and this counts for all four subtests. GED scoring is as follows:

  • 100-144: Below passing score
  • 145-164: Passing score (high school equivalency)
  • 165-174: College-Ready score
  • 175-200: College-Ready Plus college credit score

GED Texas Retakes

The computer-based GED exam includes four modules that cost $36.25 each in Texas so $145 in total if taken at a test center. If you fail a subject test, you can take two retakes without having to wait for some time. Per the GED subtest, you’ll receive two retakes at a reduced rate of just $16.26 for the fee of the test center.

If you need to take that subtest for the third time, you’ll have to respect a waiting period of 60 days before you can take that test again. This offer counts for one year, after which regular fees count again ($36.25 per subject test). This only applies to testing at a test center.

Free GED Online Prep In Texas

It doesn’t matter whether you quit high school recently or did not finish school many years ago.

If you want to get ahead, the GED (General Education Development) program will be the right thing to sign up for. The GED is fully computer-based. Paper-based testing is something of the past, except for students who require an accommodation to test in a paper-based format.

How To Prepare For The GED Test

There are so many reasons why people did not finish High School. Whatever the reason, you still have a chance to get a good job and manage your future; all you need to do is get your GED.

The four GED subtests measure key skills, knowledge, and concepts at a level that may be expected of students that had four years of standard high school education.

Contact a GED prep location or a test center near you and see if you qualify to sign up for the Texas GED program. The GED program is not for everybody: you can not have a high school diploma or be registered for any other school program. Learn about requirements and regulations, and a student may also request financial aid if he or she qualifies.

Get well prepared. Your local bookstore or library can supply material, and there are many locations where you can get all set for the GED exam under the guidance of a teacher.

Today, there are also a few pretty good online courses, like the support available at no cost on this website, which is generously provided by Onsego GED Prep, one of the only 20 courses that GED Testing Service recognizes as being fully aligned to the current GED test.

But the best way to prepare is probably learning with an online course in combination with attending a GED prep class at a Texas prep site (mostly totally free of charge, check above at a city near you).

Think about a good strategy that will help you to pass the exam. The GED test still has multiple choice questions left, although some were replaced by essay-style answering. Find the best strategy to come up with the right answers. Doing this will boost your confidence and your scores. On taking the test, think of the strategies you learned.

The GED diploma is the equivalency of a common high school diploma and is all across America accepted as such by employers, colleges, and government institutions. Testing happens at a level that compares to that of graduating high school seniors.

How To Sign Up For The GED Exam

If you go to the online portal MyGED (at the website GED.com), you need to create your personal account, so you can get unprecedented support while preparing for and taking the GED exam to earn your diploma. Registration and test scheduling have become absolutely easy and are available 24/7 at the online GED office.

In the U.S., we can find millions of adults who do not have a high school diploma. Passing the Texas High School Equivalency exam will open doors to colleges and universities and improve chances for better income and new careers. This article lists all GED prep facilities in Texas. You’re also welcome to check our article about how to sign up for the GED exam with MyGED.

FAQ About GED In Texas

How to get a GED in Texas?

To earn your GED in Texas, you will have to take and pass the four subtests that make up the GED exam. Texas offers the computerized GED exam for adults looking to earn their High School Equivalency Diploma.

What are the Texas GED testing requirements?

GED testing is for adults who did not complete high school. In Texas, test-takers must be state residents but attending a prep course or taking a qualification practice test is not required, except when taking the tests online. The minimum age in Texas is 16, but applicants 16 or 17 years old are required to meet some pretty strict additional requirements.

What is the GED cost in Texas?

When taken at a test center, the Texas GED test costs $145 for the complete battery or $36,25 per module. When taken online, the cost will be $169 ($42.50 per subtest), but you should actually also include the cost of four GED Ready tests ($28), which brings your overall cost to $197. You have the choice to take and pay for one (or more) of the four GED subtests at a time, and you can take them in any order.
