How Can I Check to See If I Passed the GED?
The General Educational Development Test or GED is a high school equivalency exam that allows individuals over the age of 16 to obtain a diploma or certificate that is the equivalent of a diploma, depending on the state. The GED test is administered by authorized testing centers across the United States. In order to pass the GED exam, you must score at least 410. The GED test results are provided with two sets of numbers; the standard score and the percentile rank. The percentile rank allows you to compare your score to the performance of high school graduates.
