How to Obtain GED Results
If you have taken your General Education Development (GED) exam, you may be eager to reap the benefits of a GED. However, you cannot take advantage of these benefits, until you obtain your GED results. The method through which you obtain your results depends upon various factors. Different procedures must be used to request results depending upon when you took the test, your test taking location and your military status at the time you took the test.
