WHAT’S A PASSING SCORE ON THE GED?
That’s the big question, right? The standard scores for the GED tests range from a minimum of 200 to a maximum of 800 on each test. To pass, you must score about 60% on each test, which translates to a score of at least 410 on each GED test to pass it, and an overall average score of 450 for the five-test battery. This means that your score for any individual GED test cannot be below 410, but if you get some that low, you need other GED tests to be well above 410 so that the scores for all five GED tests average out to at least 450. Each question on the GED test equals one point. You can miss one out of three questions, and still pass the GED. The essay portion of the test is scored differently, and readers score it based on your writing ability to use language and your word choices. WHAT’S THE PASS/FAIL RATE? On average, two out of three people who take the GED Test pass. The better prepared you are for the test, the greater your chances of doing well. WHY DO SOME PEOPLE PASS EASILY,
