The official General Educational Development (GED®) test is a four-part test that measures skills and knowledge similar to a high school course of study. Since 2014, the test has been administered on computers and is aligned to Common Core standards. There is a heavy emphasis on critical thinking skills, and each section of the test has a variety of questions, including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank and short answer.
Each section costs $36, for a total cost of $144. Vouchers are available for first-time test takers, reducing the total price to $64 ($16 per section). Test takers must be at least 16 years old and officially withdrawn from school, if applicable.
Project Learn is an official testing site for the GED®. Tests are scheduled through ged.com.
