GED Test Registration

GED is a battery of five tests, specially planned for individuals who for some reasons were unable to get formal education. Any one who is 18 years of age or older and is not a high school graduate can register for the test. A citizen of the United States or a person who has been a school dropout for a minimum one year can sit for the GED test. GED is also sometimes known as General Equivalency Diploma. In order to pass the GED test, the examinee must obtain an average of 450 or more in all the five tests and, 410 score on an average in each of the five tests. The test taker can take the GED test in English, French and Spanish. Before appearing for the main GED test it is necessary for the test taker to appear and clear the GED pre- test. The GED pre-test gives the authorities an opportunity to find out each test taker’s level of efficiency.

On passing the main GED test, American Council on Education, which is recognized by almost all the colleges and universities of America, awards the candidate with a diploma and on the basis of this diploma; the candidate can upgrade his qualification and also secure a good job.
