GED Announcements

GED passing score for high school equivalency has changed from 150 to 145 for all test subjects.
The new “GED College Ready” performance level (score of 165-174) signifies readiness to enter credit-bearing college courses.
The new “GED College Read + Credit” level (score of 175-200) signifies that a student qualifies for up to ten hours of college credit.
​The GED test continues to measure the problem solving and critical thinking skills valued by employers and necessary for adults to succeed in the workplace and career or college programs.
In most states test takers who scored between 145-149 on the GED test prior to the new passing score re-calibration will now be eligible for their state’s GED credential.
