In California, GED test-takers have the option to take the GED online. First, however, they need to reach “green” (likely to pass) scores on the GED Ready practice test.
So to qualify for taking the GED® test at home, students are required first to prove that their knowledge level is sufficient to pass the real thing.

How To Prepare For The GED Test
In California, you are not required to sign up for a prep course first. However, the GED is a difficult exam. The fact of the matter is that some forty percent of all high school graduates would not pass the exam on their first try. Check also our page about the qualification criteria for GED testing in California.
So it is highly recommended to attend a prep course or learn with books available from local libraries and bookstores. There are also a few very good online courses these days; our own online GED classes will get you ready for the real thing efficiently. No matter your preferred way of learning, just be sure to get properly prepared!
One of the most effective ways to start your GED prep efforts is when you take a few practice tests to identify your knowledge gaps. If you learn what GED subject areas need your attention most, you won’t be spending time on stuff you already know.
How To Schedule The GED Test
To schedule your GED tests, you need to go to GED.com and create an account with the portal MyGED. This is the place where you can register for, schedule, and pay for your tests. Here, there’s also a lot of interesting information available about all the things connected to high school equivalency testing, developments in the job market, academic programs, and so on.
