The GED® test must be taken in-person at an Official GED Testing Center™

We want your path to a GED credential to be as satisfying and rewarding as possible. So before you get started, we must remind you that the GED® test must be taken in-person at an Official GED Testing Center; beware of web sites and other sources that tell you otherwise.

You can take the GED Tests almost anywhere in the United States and Canada and internationally at any of the 3,400 Official GED Testing Centers, but you cannot earn a GED credential (sometimes called a diploma or certificate) on the Internet. Read more in our Truth About GED Testing Online. To locate a center near you, visit www.GEDtest.org/locator.

Testing Policies

While the GED Test has general standards, each jurisdiction awards its own credential and has its own policies. Visit our new Testing Policies page for information about the standards for the GED Test in your area.

Accommodations for Test-takers with Disabilities

We want all test-takers to have fair access to the tests. If you have a diagnosed learning disability, physical/chronic health disability, emotional/mental health disability, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder you can request accommodations (note: all requests are considered on an individual basis, but all requests are not automatically approved). Click here for more information on what types of accommodations are available and to download request forms.
