If a passing score is not achieved in the first attempt, a student may retake the test. It takes about two weeks to receive the results of the test. The GED Tests are developed by the American Council on Education to enable persons who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the attainment of developed abilities normally required through completion of a high school program of study. The test consists of five tests in the areas of Writing Skills, Social Studies, Science, Literature and the Arts, and Mathematics. The questions in each of theses tests require you to use general knowledge and thinking skills.
Few questions ask about facts, details, or definitions.
