Puerto Rico And U.S. Territories GED Requirements

The GED exam consists of four independent GED subtests that can be taken online or at an official GED testing center.

Registration for the GED® exam or for the GED Ready® tests must be done online at GED.com

The GED (General Education Development) subtests cover the academic fields of Social Studies, Math, Language Arts, and Science.

The diploma that will be awarded when a candidate passes the four GED® modules provides certification that the holder commands skills at a level comparable to those of North American high school graduates.

Onsego offers a comprehensive GED online prep course that is recognized by GED Testing Service as being entirely aligned with the current GED exam.

Online learning offers lots of flexibility, but there are students who are better off under the guidance of a teacher. For these students, we have compiled a complete list of GED prep locations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Territories.
