In the past, online high school equivalency (HSE) testing was not possible. Your personal appearance at a New Jersey state-designated testing site was required.
However, the launch of the online proctored GED test has changed all of that. Read more below (at the bottom of this page).

Introducing Online GED Testing
Sitting for the GED exam in an online format had, until recently, never been an option. HSE testing was simply not offered over the Internet. But now, with the introduction of an online GED testing option, that has all changed.

Eligibility Requirements
In New Jersey, GED hopefuls must be at least 18 years of age to be able to sit for the GED exam. However, when they meet some additional requirements, 16- and 17-year-olds may also be eligible.
Underage testers must submit a “Certificate of Consent,” a form that certifies that they’re not enrolled in any school, have permission to take the GED exam from their school districts, and demonstrate parental consent as well in writing, signed by a parent or legal guardian.
The parent or guardian must then accompany the underage test-taker to the test center with the completed “Certificate of Consent to Participate” form. Underage students who have a legal guardian are also required to bring a copy of the guardianship awarding court document.
The New Jersey equivalency exam is only available to state residents, and proof must be provided by photo identification. New Jersey does not require test-takers to attend a prep course prior to sitting for the exam, nor are they required to attain passing scores on the GED Ready practice test to take the four-module GED exam at a test center. The modules can be taken separately, one at a time, if you prefer.
