Online GED® testing is now also an option for test-takers who score in the “green” zone on the GED Ready® official practice test. More information below.

The assessment gives individuals who couldn’t graduate high school an extra option to earn an equivalent diploma.

You can study for your GED® diploma with a teacher at one of the physical sites listed on this page. You may also prefer to use our free online GED classes to start working toward your GED diploma.

These four tests can be taken individually and in any wished order, but getting optimally prepared is essential! You are welcome to use our free GED practice tests to identify your academic strengths and weaknesses and start learning more efficiently.

The GED diploma is accepted in lieu of a high school diploma all across North America.

Online GED Testing

GED testing via the Internet is now an option as well. In the past, students had to show up in person at an official Alabama test center if they wanted to earn their high school equivalency degree.

Well, that has now changed. GED Testing Service has introduced an online version of the GED exam that uses an online proctor to monitor the test-taking process. For more information, go to this post: ‘Online proctored GED testing.’
