GED Ready: the official GED practice test

It's the official practice test, written by the people who make the GED. GED Ready is half the length of the real test, timed, and costs $7.99 a subject or $25.99 for all four as of October 2026. A score of 145 or higher means you're likely to pass, and you need that green score before you can book an online test.

What do GED Ready scores mean?

Your results also come with a study plan that points you to the skills you missed. You can print your results, but not the test itself.

GED Ready and the online test

To schedule an online GED test, you need a green GED Ready score for that subject from the last 60 days. At a test center you usually don't need it: Washington's and Wisconsin's pages, for example, only require it for online testing. New Mexico's free testing program also asks for a GED Ready score of 145 or higher within 60 days.

Is there a free GED pretest?

GED Ready itself isn't free, and GED.com doesn't offer a separate placement test. The free option from GED Testing Service is the test preview: about a quarter of the length of each subject test, in English or Spanish, with every answer explained. Kentucky says its adult education centers can give you GED Ready for free.

Each GED Ready purchase is good for one attempt, and you can buy more. Each version has different questions, so a second try is a fresh test. It runs on a computer or laptop, not a phone.
