|
The Tests of General Educational Development (GED Tests) provide individuals with the opportunity to earn a U.S. high school credential. By taking and passing a series of five tests in writing, mathematics, science, social studies and interpreting literature and the arts, an individual can demonstrate an acquired level of learning that is comparable to that of U.S. high school graduates.
What is the GED Testing Program?
The GED Testing Program offers individuals the opportunity to demonstrate that he/she has accumulated knowledge and skills comparable to people who graduated from high schools in the United States. Passing the GED Tests earns a U.S. high school equivalency diploma.
Who is eligible to take the GED Tests
To take the GED Tests internationally, you must be at least 17 years of age. Each state in the United States has its own set of criteria that must be met in order to obtain a high school diploma from that state. Prometric processes U.S. high school equivalency diploma applications through the Maine Department of Education. Therefore, your high school equivalency diploma will be issued from the U.S. state of Maine.

How will I know if I passed the GED Tests?
You must earn a minimum score of 410 on each of the 5 tests, with a total score of not fewer than 2250 points. This means you must score higher than 410 on some tests to earn the extra 200 points. For example, if your scores were: Literature Arts: Writing - 410; Mathematics - 450; Science - 450; Social Studies - 410; and Literature Arts: Reading - 450, you would not pass the GED Tests even though you received a minimum score of 410 on each test. The total scores in this example only added up to 2170 points - 80 points short of the minimum total score of 2250 points required to earn a high school equivalency diploma. To achieve the extra points, you may retake any section of your choice or more than one section.
How will I be notified about my scores?
When you complete your testing for the day, the testing center staff will give you a Test Completion Notice after you exit the testing room and before you leave. The exception is the essay portion of the Literature Arts: Writing Exam and Part I of the two part linked exams. The essay must be sent to the U.S. for scoring.
When you have passed all five of the GED Tests, you will receive an “official” GED International Score Report in the mail (Transcript). You will also receive a Transcript under the following circumstances:
When all five tests have been taken, regardless of Pass or Fail status
When you retest, and the retest results in passing the GED
Your scores will be mailed to you as soon as processed, in approximately six to eight weeks from completion of testing.
