Students Urged to Finish GED Tests Before 2014 Overhaul

Students Urged to Finish GED Tests Before 2014 Overhaul

Quick Note:  This article indicates some uncertainty about the cost of GED testing by computer. To clarify, computer-based testing (CBT) will cost $24 per subject area test ($120 for the entire five subject area test battery) in 2013 on the current (2002) test series.  In 2013, both the pencil-and-paper and the CBT versions will be available. Pencil-and-paper testing costs $15 per subject area test ($75 for the entire five subject area test battery).  Since October, we have been working with Pearson Vue/GED Testing Service to establish the CBT test option on the current GED test series at the Grenada Adult Education Center. Watch this website for news that the CBT testing option has launched in Grenada.

For 2014 on the new test series, testing will cost $30 per subject area test ($120 for the entire four subject area test battery). The 2014 test series will only be given on computer.
