Can GED candidates retest if they don pass the first time?
Yes. Retests are administered using a form of the GED test/s different from the form/s the candidate has already taken. Candidates do not have to complete the full battery of five GED tests before they can retest on any single test. Candidates that did not receive the minimum passing score of 410 points may retest on any of the five GED tests in order to bring the score up to the minimum. When candidates have received the minimum passing score of 410 points on each of the GED tests and still have a total score of less than 2250, they may retest on whichever tests they choose, as long as the form of the particular test is different from the one that they took earlier. If a candidate retests on the same test form, the retest score will be automatically invalidated. Since there are only three test forms available in the state each year, a candidate may test only three times during any given year.
