Oregon GED Price

If you take the GED exam online, the price is also $44 per individual subtest, so the entire exam will cost you $176 as well. You should, however, also take into account the cost of four GED Ready tests ($28) that qualify you for online GED testing.

There is a GED Ready practice test for each of the four GED sub-exams. You must purchase the GED Ready tests online at GED.com at $6.99 each. You can only take the GED sub-exams online if you have reached “green” results (likely to pass) on the GED Ready tests.
