Scores/Transcripts
An unofficial score report will be mailed to you after you take one or more GED tests. The approximate amount of time before a score report will be mailed is announced at each test, usually it will be 2 to 4 weeks.
If you ruin a test book by marking in it, you will be marked as absent and your score will not count. You are responsible for determining whether you have passed the GED battery and making sure you receive your transcripts and diploma if you have passed.
Requirements for Passing the GED Battery |
In order to pass the GED battery you must have a total combined score on all five tests of 2250 with no individual test score lower than 410.
