You can take the GED test online as well. To qualify, you need to score “green” on the GED Ready official practice test. Read more below.
This website’s online free classes for the GED exam are great for getting started on your GED journey.
If studying online suits you well, we suggest you register with Onsego GED Prep, a full-scale, affordable program that will quickly prepare you for the four GED sub-exams.
Online GED Classes
A simple and easy way of getting your GED diploma.
The GED exam measures academic proficiency at a level that’s similar to that of High School students after four years of education. The assessment exam comes with four independent tests on these academic subject fields:
- English Language Arts
- Math
- Science
- Social Studies
The GED is modular, meaning you can take the four subtests (modules) individually.
In Arizona, GED hopefuls are additionally required to take and pass the Arizona Civic Test.

Introducing the Online GED Test
It is also possible to sit for the GED test online. Until recently, test-takers had to appear, in person, at an official Arizona GED test center to be able to earn their Arizona GED credentials, but now, that has changed.
The GED test is now also offered in an online, proctored format. An online proctor will monitor the test-taking process and see if all goes according to the rules and regulations. Want more information? Go to this page -> Introducing the online proctored GED test.
