How to Get My GED Test Scores Online

The GED is required for students who want to apply for college.

If you did not complete high school in a traditional manner, you can still obtain the necessary credits to graduate by taking and passing the GED, or General Educational Development diploma. Preparing for the GED test can be done through online and offline classes, and after completing all necessary coursework, students can apply for the GED test in their state through the Department of Education. While GED test scores are typically sent to the applicant, test takers can quickly view their test scores online by following several steps.

Things You'll Need

• Testing access code

1. Locate your testing access code, which can be found on official paperwork given to test takers immediately following their GED test.

Be prepared to show your driver's license or another form of identification to verify your identity.

2. Navigate your web browser to GED123.org; this database houses GED test scores and transcripts for all test takers. Enter your access code in the "Returning Students" section of the website.

3. Press "Go" and you will be directed to your GED test scores. From here, you can request official copies of your test scores and transcripts.

Tips & Warnings

• Contact your state's department of education to determine if they offer an online database of test scores.

• Never use another person's access code to view his GED scores unless you're given direct consent from the test taker.
