# How long does it take to get my GED?

The fastest way to get a GED is about **30 days** with [**Onsego Fast Mode**.](https://onsego.com/ged-fast-mode/)

Most students complete their GED preparation in **2–8 months**, depending on how much time they can study each week.

**Onsego** offers two study options:

| Study Option | Best For | Typical Timeline |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Onsego Fast Mode** | Students who can study consistently and want to finish as quickly as possible | About **30 days** (5–6 days per GED subject) |
| **Onsego Regular Mode** | Students who prefer a flexible study schedule | **2–8 months** |

**Onsego Fast Mode** includes four accelerated GED prep courses—one for each GED subject. Each course follows a simple study plan designed to help students prepare for a subject in about **5–6 days**. **Onsego Fast Mode** also teaches students how to use the on-screen GED calculator effectively, helping many students solve math questions more quickly.

**Onsego Regular Mode** follows a more gradual approach. Students build their skills step by step and study at their own pace. **Onsego** provides access to all lessons and practice tests from the beginning, so students can study whenever it fits their schedule.

**Onsego** takes students from their first lesson to the GED test, helping adults prepare for the GED regardless of when they left high school.
