GED Testing is now available on computer!!
- Testing on computer is only available for test-takers who have not taken any paper tests and who will complete the battery on computer.
- The new computer-based GED test – which is the same test content, offered currently on paper versions, will provide new benefits for test-takers.

- On-line payment and registration
