How to Take the GED Test at Home
Once a person completes the General Educational Development test, that person will receive a certificate that is referred to by most as a GED. A GED can be very useful for an individual if she never earned a high school diploma. Currently, no states allow you to take a GED for credit, either at home or online. You can, however, take numerous different practice GED exams at home. These exams can be very useful for preparing you for the real GED test.

Tips & Warnings
You can also ask your GED instructor for take-home practice exams. Just like the exams found on the websites listed above, a practice exam from your instructor will mimic the actual exam.
Currently, no state allows an individual to complete an actual GED test either at home or online. Any websites claiming to allow you to take a "real" GED test for credit online are making a false claim. All GED tests must be completed at a certified GED testing center.
