Georgia GED Price
When taking the GED test in a testing center, you pay $46 per subject test (or $184 for the full battery).
If you take the exam online, each sub-exam will set you back $46 as well, so your overall testing fee will also be $184. You should, however, add to that the cost of four GED Ready® tests ($28 in total), so your overall cost will be $212.
To qualify for taking the GED exam online, you must first attain “likely-to-pass” scores (in the green range) on the GED Ready practice test, available at GED.com for $6.99 each. For each GED subtest, there’s a GED Ready test, so that makes $28 on top of the testing fees.
