GED Study Guides, Resources and Practice Tests

The General Educational Development (GED) tests are a group of four subject tests which, when passed, provide certification that the test taker has United States or Canadian high school-level academic skills. It is an alternative to the US high school diploma, HiSET, and TASC test. Some students in high school never finish getting a diploma, so for them, this series of tests indicates to others, such as employers, that they have a high school level of education. 

This post provides a variety of online and downloadable study guides, resources and practice tests for preparing for the 4 GED test subject areas. These exams are available in English and Spanish, and can be taken and paid for by 1 or more content area tests at a time.

  • Reasoning through Language Arts – ability to read closely, write clearly, and edit and understand written text.
  • Math – quantitative and algebraic problem solving.
  • Science – life, physical, earth and space science.
  • Social Studies – civics and government, U.S. history, economics, geography and the world.

A minimum score of 150 is required for each test module (600 overall) to obtain a HSED. The scoring levels are as follows:

  • Passing: 150-169
  • Passing with honors: 170-200
