GED Testing Is Free In Massachusetts Podcast

In this episode, we focus our attention on how the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESD) has made GED and HiSET testing free for state residents.

To access the free exams, test-takers must use specific promo codes during registration. While the GED exam itself is free, the associated GED Ready practice tests are not covered and cost $7.99 each. Onsego Advantage Plans, however, include four GED Ready couchers for free!
