Wisconsin GED Price

The four Wisconsin GED subtests will set you back $159 in total or $39.75 per individual section. This counts both when you take the exam at a traditional test center or in an online format, the Online Proctored (OP) GED test.

If you take the Wisconsin GED test online, though, you should also add the cost of four GED Ready tests, $28, which totals $187 overall.

To be eligible for online GED testing, you first need to reach “green” scores (in the likely-to-pass range) on the GED Ready official practice test. These are four GED Ready tests (one for each of the GED sub-exams) that you must buy at GED.com for $6.99 each.
