The Tests of General Educational Development (GED) are developed by the American Council on Education to enable persons who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the attainment of abilities normally associated with completion of a high school program of study.
 

The GED has five sections: Language Arts (Reading); Language Arts (Writing); Social Studies; Science; and Mathematics. The Reading Test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on passages from fiction (75% of the exam) and non-fiction (25%). The tests are usually taken over a two-day period.


Did you know that…

  • Most test questions require the understanding of broad concepts and generalizations, rather than the ability to recall facts, details or precise definitions. 
  • GED Tests use practical and realistic settings that adults will recognize, relevant to adults' lives.
  • Each of the five tests correspond to the general framework of most high school curricula: Writing Skills, Social Studies, Science, Interpreting Literature and the Arts, and Mathematics:
  • The tests are usually taken over a two-day period.
  • Each of the five tests uses a multiple-choice format.
The GED program provides an opportunity to recognize the educational development of individuals as a result of their life and/or employment experiences. This is designed to measure skills and concepts associated with four years of regular high school instruction. Each test is developed by adult and secondary educators and subject matter specialists.

GED scores compare the test-taker’s performance in the five content areas with the performance of recent high school graduates. Individuals who take the GRE will be assigned a score between 200 and 800 in each of the content areas. These scores are not directly related to the number or percentage of correct answers in each section of the exam. The GED is developed and administered by the American Council of Education at locations around the country. Prospective test-takers should visit the ACE website to register.
