The price of the GED test varies by state, but in most states, the GED® fee is around $36 per subject. There are four subject tests, so the total price is around $144.
Online GED testing is more expensive, since you’ll need to buy 4 GED Ready practice tests to qualify as well ($7.99 each).
Some states subsidize the test fee, and others offer free testing. There are also states that offer free GED testing for first-time testers.
Five states offer GED or HiSET testing for free: New York, Illinois, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Maine.
- New York, Illinois, and Connecticut use the GED (General Education Development) exam
- Maine and West Virginia are using the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test)
- In Connecticut, there is a small registration fee
Two states and the District of Columbia partially subsidize the GED exam.
- Arkansas: the GED exam fee is $16 ($4 per module/subtest)
- Maryland: the GED exam costs $45 for all 4 subjects ($11.25 per module)
- District of Columbia: the entire GED exam costs $15 ($3.75 per module)
