What’s on the GED Test

The GED exam comes with four separate tests (modules) in the subject fields of

• Mathematical Reasoning (Basic Math Concepts, Measurement, and Equations)
• Science (Understanding Scientific Processes)
• Reasoning through Language Arts (Grammar, Reading, and Writing combined)
• Social Studies (Understanding the World and Society)

You can take one GED module at a time, in any order you prefer. There’s no need to sit for the entire GED exam in one testing session.

Testing takes place at a similar level to what high schoolers are expected to master upon graduation

The Online GED Test

In the past, there was no option to complete the four GED modules online. To earn a GED, you always had to show up in person at one of Washington State’s official GED testing centers.

A few years back, however, all of that changed with the launch of an online proctored option to take the GED exam.

Qualifying GED students who opt for online testing will see that an online proctor will monitor their activities to ensure they comply with the rules.

For more detailed information about taking the GED online, visit ‘The online GED.’

Bear in mind, though, that you only qualify for the online GED test if you have reached passing (‘green’) scores on the GED Ready test, and there’s one for each GED module.

This test costs $7.99, so that will add $32 to your overall Washington State GED testing expenses.

Free GED Ready Test Vouchers

Onsego Advantage Plan students will get four GED Ready test vouchers at no additional charge. That comes with their plan, a great $32 saving!

These plans are already available at $79, and all options include many free extras, including the four free GED  Ready vouchers!
