Requirements for Retesting

1. Pay retesting fees.

2. Show your official government-issued identification each time you retest
   

3. Retesting may be accomplished on all tests or selected tests for an unlimited number of times until minimum scores are obtained provided that a period of three weeks has elapsed since the second and subsequent testing, and new forms of the test are available. Typically, in any calendar year, the maximum number of times any one of the 5 GED sub-tests may be retaken is three. Scores will carry over from year to year.
   
   
4. Number 3 above may be partially waived and next-day retesting may be allowed for examinees who score within 30 points of their targeted goal. Hence, as an example, any examinee who scores 380+ on any single test will be permitted to test on another version of that test the next time that test is offered by a GED testing site. If the examinee scores less than 380, the examinee is required to wait 3 weeks to encourage additional GED preparation before the examinee re-takes a GED test.
   
   
5. Passing scores may be upgraded by retesting based on evidence of need.
