What is the GED Certification Exam?

The General Educational Development (GED) exam is a comprehensive test designed to assess whether an individual has the academic skills equivalent to a high school education. Administered by GED Testing Service, this certification is widely recognized and opens doors to employment opportunities and higher education. The GED is ideal for those who did not complete high school but wish to demonstrate their knowledge in core subject areas.

The exam is divided into four subject tests: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Each test evaluates your understanding of high school-level material and your ability to apply knowledge in practical and problem-solving contexts.

To earn your GED, you must pass all four subject tests, which can be taken individually or in combination. The test is available year-round, and candidates can choose to take it in-person at a testing center or online from the comfort of their home.

What Does the GED Exam Cover?

The GED exam evaluates your skills and knowledge across four key subject areas:

Mathematical Reasoning (115 minutes)
Covers basic math, geometry, algebra, and data analysis. Focuses on problem-solving and the application of mathematical concepts.

Reasoning Through Language Arts (150 minutes)
Tests reading comprehension, grammar, and writing skills, including an essay response.

Science (90 minutes)
Assesses your understanding of life science, physical science, earth and space science, and your ability to interpret scientific data and graphs.

Social Studies (70 minutes)

The total test time is approximately 7 hours, though you can take the subject tests separately based on your schedule.
