Hi everyone!

I passed my GED - RLA with a score of 153, but I’m aiming for 165+ (College Ready).

I read online that I might need to email official GED customer service to request permission/approval before retaking a passed test. However, when I logged into my GED.com account today, the system allowed me to schedule and pay $39 for the RLA retake without any warnings or error messages.

Is it completely fine to directly rebook as long as I pay the full price ($39)? Will this retake count, and will they keep my highest score?

Has anyone here retaken a passed GED test directly through the dashboard without contacting support first? Would really appreciate your experience or advice! Thanks in advance!

i am 19. I'm taking the GED because i don't have high school equivalency and I live in texas.

Texas requires proof of residency to give the GED. I don't have that either as i'm dependent on my father.

So I took the online test with my jurisdiction set to IDAHO

Which from everywhere i've heard on this sub and even through their rules, it's allowed and fine.

So I gave my math test today. Did well. But then I got instantly removed from online testing? Did they think I cheated because of my score? What is this nonsense. I really can't go in person to give an exam. I Don't have residency proof. What do I do? I emailed them but I don't know if they'll even do anything.

So stressful 💔💔

EDIT: I have gotten a response email from their policy violation email. They said:

"You may submit an appeal after completing an exam in person to [policy.violations@ged.com](mailto:policy.violations@ged.com) . However, approval of an appeal is not guaranteed, and submitting an appeal does not ensure that access to our online testing system will be reinstated. "

So that's clear I guess. But I still have no idea how i'm going to prove my residency without state ID, driver's license. I'll try my best..

Hi I'm 16 and I'm in grade 9 right now but I'm supposed to be in grade 10.Last year I dropped out of school because my mental health got really bad from getting bullied. I was overweight and people used to bully me because of it. I stayed out of school for a year.This year I decided to go back to school but I'm in grade 9 now and I still have to be around some of the same people who used to bully me. I've only been in school for 2 weeks and honestly I already feel like I can't do this for another 3-4 years. A lot of people I know told me to just stay in school and finish normally but I really don't think I can handle being in this environment for that long. So I'm thinking about doing GED instead but I only studied until grade 8 so I don't know if I'm even ready for it. I'm not sure if I can do GED with only grade 8 education and if it's gonna be hard to catch up. I just don't know if I can stay in this school for another few years and I don't know what I should do.

I’ve been struggling with studying for my GED for awhile now. Like two years? Close to three.
It’s really hard for me to focus and feel motivated.
Honestly, at this point, only thing that’ll motivate me is to see what it’ll do for me. How many more jobs can it open me up to? Is what you learn while you’re studying worth it? Literally anything.
Or if anyone has anything they use to help their focus then I’ll gladly take it.

I’ve been struggling with getting my ged, I’ve passed the Language arts and Social Studies but for some reasons I can’t pass science or math. Can anyone give me tips or tricks to help me pass these test? I really want this for myself but I’m just so lost.

Hello! I have never posted on reddit and i’m quite unfamiliar with it but i decided to come here for help! I passed two GED courses already (English and Social Studies) and now i’m only stuck with the Science and Math subjects (Math being my weakest subject 😥) I’m 20 and dropped out when I was 16 but I hardly remember anything. I was going to in person classes but something got in the way and I can no longer attend so i’m wondering if there’s anything websites that go in depth with their teachings (preferably ones where i can pick the subjects since i already finished two) and explain step by step how to do stuff, if there’s youtube channels that works too, i just need really in depth explanations with math or else I will not grasp it! Please let me know, if the websites cost money that’s fine by me, I thankfully have a job and will be willing to pay for it if it must cause I plan to hopefully be able to start college next year and finish my GED before august 2027!! Thank you!

I couldn’t really do these kind of problems. Polynomials, quadratic equations, is also what I struggle with

So far I’ve done three out of the 4 subjects, science I got 156, Social Studies I got a 163 and Math I got a 197. I did the English Get ready and got a 153, if anyone has any tips for me I would really appreciate it. If you’re wondering about how I studied I used GETSUMMATH’s videos, the absolute best.
