How The Test Works

The GED comprises five tests: "Language Arts: Writing", "Social Studies", "Science", "Language Arts: Reading", and "Mathematics".

To ensure fairness, all Official GED Testing Centers must adhere to the uniform testing standards specified by the American Council on Education, including adherence to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Local policies determine whether students must take all five tests in one day. Some locations divide the tests among two or more days, and testing days are not always consecutive.

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or works:

    If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.
    Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)

    Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
