GED® Testing Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who can take the GED® test?

   Virginia allows people as young as 16 years old who meet qualification guidelines to take the GED test.

2. Do all sections of the test have to be taken at one time?

   In Virginia, you can take the individual subjects one at a time. The exam consists of four tests (reasoning through language arts, science, social studies, and math). Because of time constraints, you can often take no more than two tests in a day.

3. Can I take the test again if I don't pass on the first attempt?

   Yes. The passing score is 145 for each subject. You may re-test in only those subjects you did not successfully pass.

   There is no waiting requirement between the first three test attempts. After the third attempt, test-takers must wait 60-days before they can test again.

4. How do I prepare for the GED® tests?

   Adult Education classes are taught by trained instructors. Classes are free and available in the counties of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski and the city of Radford.

5. What do I need to score to earn my GED®?

   You must score 145 or higher per test subject to pass and qualify for a Virginia GED certificate.
