The GED is a series of tests designed to provide an opportunity for adults who have not graduated from high school to earn a State of Florida High School diploma by measuring the major academic skills and knowledge associated with a high school program. The GED Tests include the following subject area tests:

  • Language Arts, Reading
     
  • Language Arts, Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Social Studies
  • Science

The following are the application requirements to register for the GED:

  • Be a Florida resident.
     
  • Be at least 18 years old at the time of application (students under 18 years of age must take the Official G. E. D. Practice Test and obtain an age waiver)
  • Have a legal photo-identification card showing age in one of the following formats:
    • State of Florida Drivers License
    • State of Florida Identification Card
  • Have a social security card or letter from the Social Security Administration showing a social security number.
  • Not be enrolled in an accredited high school unless in an approved drop out prevention program.

To earn a State of Florida High School Diploma you must:

  • Earn a standard score of at least 410 on each of the five GED subtests, AND
     
  • Earn an overall score of 2250 or higher.
     
  • Students who pass the test are given a State of Florida High School Diploma and an Official GED Transcript. Scores are typically available within 8-12 weeks after the test date.
     
  • If the student fails to earn scores high enough to receive a diploma, he/she can retake all or selected subject area tests to achieve passing scores. Testing centers may require students who fail the test to enroll in preparation classes or wait a pre-determined amount of time before attempting to re-test. Students may test a maximum of three times in a single year and only once on a single test form.
