How Do You Get A GED Diploma?
The General Educational Development (GED) program is designed to give a high-school education to diverse populations. The program provides a diploma to home-schooled children, farmers and immigrants who were unable to attend high school full time as well as to those who dropped out of high school early. To get a GED diploma, you’ll need to take and pass the official exam. Locate the GED testing center nearest you by using the locator page on the GED website (see Resources below). Most test centers require you to make an appointment at least 2 days before you plan to take the exam. Gather the appropriate fees to take the GED test. The exact fee varies according to the individual test center, but is usually around $40 for the first test. Re-tests usually cost around $10. Save money and time on GED preparation with online testing resources. Websites such as GEDforFree allow students with full-time jobs and other responsibilities to take sample tests at their leisure (see Resources below).
