<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#7500EB">Online GED Testing is now available to test takers 16 years of age and older taking the English version of the test. Test takers ages 16-18 still must have their Approval to Test/Enroll, Letter
of Homeschooling, or Open Doors Enrollment Confirmation form approved by a test center. If test takers cannot find a test center to work with them on the approval of their forms, I will assist the test taker. Test takers still must have taken the GED Ready
and scored “Likely to Pass” in the last 60 days to be able to schedule a test online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#7500EB">The Spanish version and the ability for retakes is coming October 1. There is a new page to help test takers with online testing:
<a href="https://ged.com/take-the-ged-test-online/">https://ged.com/take-the-ged-test-online/</a> This is a much nicer concise page for test takers to get all the information they need about testing online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#7500EB">Attached is a breakdown of the differences between face-to-face and online testing. I thought you would find this very useful, as you work with students that may be testing in both environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
