YouCanToo! Get Your GED... Here's How!

‘GED’ stands for the Tests of General Education Development. It is a national test for people who did not graduate from high school or have diplomas that New York State does not recognize.

Here’s some really important information you need to know before taking the test:

• In New York State there is NO charge to take the GED test. Do not be fooled by misleading ads on other websites. Call 311 for more information.
• Going to a prep class before taking the test helps make sure that you are ready to pass!
• GED tests cannot be taken online; the GED tests are only given at official GED Testing Centers approved by the New York State Education Department.
• In New York State, the GED Tests are given in English, French, and Spanish.
