Can You Take the GED Test Online?

There are two news to the GED test. The bad news for anyone who wants a fast, easy way to take the GED exam is that you cannot take the GED test online. The good news is that there are many practice GED test online resources and other online GED testing study guides that can help you prepare for the real thing. The official test is administered at an approved location usually by your local adult education department or facility. The American Council on Education (ACE) is in charge of everything related to the GED test.


The ACE has an excellent website resource that gives you everything from GED history to GED preparation. This exam was first developed in 1942 for returning veterans who needed to complete their high school education and enter the traditional workforce. Even back then, a high school education was important. Today, it is practically a requirement for even the most menial job. If you want to continue your education through a college or university a GED is absolutely required if you do not possess a high school diploma. According to the ACE the acronym for GED stands for General Educational Development, however many people call it the General Equivalency Diploma.

There are lots of practice tests on the Internet that can give you an idea of the academic areas you are good at and which ones you need to work on. The GED is broken into five sections. Language Arts is divided into two -- Writing and Reading. The writing section does require an essay. The other sections are Math, Science and Social Studies. The material covered is the same material that high school seniors would know upon graduation. To pass, you need only meet or exceed the scores of 40 percent of graduating students. Your test administrator can explain more about the scoring process.

You can also discover more useful information about the GED test online and the details of the scoring process. The ACE states that to pass the test you must have a combined score of 2250. Each different section must have a score of 410 or more. Practice tests can be very helpful because they clearly show you an estimated score for each section. Although the real test features different questions, the online practice tests are certainly a good way to prepare. You can also find practice tests and study information in GED preparation textbooks.
