GED® Test Program

A GED® credential is proof that you have U.S. high school-level education. The GED® is accepted by nearly all U.S. colleges, universities and employers, as well as many schools and organizations across the world

Students must register, schedule and pay for the GED® online at www.GED.com.

Students under the age of 18 must complete the Idaho GED Testing Wavier Application. A completed application can be dropped off, mailed, emailed or faxed to any of NIC’s AEC centers.

The GED test consists of four content areas: 

  • Reasoning through Language Arts (RLA) – 150 minutes
  • Mathematical Reasoning – 115 minutes
  • Science – 90 minutes
  • Social Studies – 75 minutes

The test is delivered exclusively on a computer, which provides a consistent testing experience nationwide and improved passing rates.
