Idaho GED Requirements

In Idaho, you get your GED diploma if you pass 4 GED subject tests that cover Math, Language, Science, and Social Studies. The GED exam can be taken in an online format and at one of Idaho’s official GED test centers.

To qualify for the online GED® test, you will first have to attain likely to pass (“green”) scores on the GED Ready® official practice test.

To register for the four GED sub-exams (if wished, one or more at a time), you need to create an account online on the website GED.com.

Idaho GED Price

Taking the Idaho GED test in person costs $36 for each individual subtest, so $144 for all four tests.

If you take the exam online, the cost will also be $36 for each sub-exam, so $144 in total. You should, however, add the $28 that four GED Ready tests cost ($6.99 a piece), so your total will be $172. There’s a GED Ready test for each GED sub-exam.

Onsego Advantage students will receive 4 GED Ready tests for free.

Bear in mind that you can take one GED subtest at a time whenever you feel ready for it, and you only pay for what you take! Check out also our page with information about online GED testing in Idaho.
