GED FAQ
We've got answers to some popular questions.
What is the GED test?
The GED (General Educational Development) test is a high school equivalency exam recognized across the United States and Canada. It consists of four subject tests — Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Passing all four earns you a credential equivalent to a high school diploma, accepted by 99% of U.S. colleges and employers.
How is the test structured?
The GED is made up of four separate subject tests: Mathematical Reasoning (115 min), Reasoning Through Language Arts (150 min), Science (90 min), and Social Studies (70 min) — about 7 hours and 5 minutes total. Each test is taken individually at an authorized testing center and scored on a 100–200 scale. You can take them in any order and on separate days.
What score do I need to pass?
You need a score of 145 or higher (out of 200) on each subject test to pass. Scoring 165–174 earns a 'GED College Ready' designation, and 175+ may qualify you for college credit. StudyPug's practice tests help you track your progress and identify weak areas before test day.
How much does the GED cost?
Each subject test typically costs $30–$40, making the full four-subject GED $120–$160 total. Pricing varies by state, and some states offer fee waivers or subsidized testing. Visit your state's official GED testing authority website for exact pricing and available assistance.
Can I retake if I don't pass?
Yes — there's no limit on how many times you can retake a GED subject test. Some states require a short waiting period between attempts. StudyPug's diagnostic assessments and adaptive practice help you zero in on weak areas so each retake is more targeted and effective.
What is the difference between StudyPug pricing plans?
