Beware of Online GED Testing sites!

The General Educational Development Testing Service (GEDTS), a program of the American Council on Education (ACE) and architect of the Tests of General Educational Development (GED Tests), is aware of various entities claiming to offer GED exams online.

Please be advised that the GED credential/diploma cannot be earned via the Internet nor through correspondence programs. The GED Tests, developed by GEDTS, require extensive preparation and the demonstration of a high level of high school knowledge and academic skills.

The GED Tests are administered in each U.S. state and insular area, Canadian provinces and territories, the U.S. military, and federal correctional institutions via Official GED Testing Centers ONLY. To identify an Official GED Testing Center, please visit the ACE web site "Locate a GED Testing Center."

Any services that claim to offer a GED credential/diploma through any other means are NOT affiliated with GEDTS or ACE, may be of questionable value, and may deliver a credential/diploma that is not accepted by employers, colleges and universities, or the military.

Attention to hiring personnel, college admissions officers, and military enlistment personnel: To veryify the authenticity of an individual's GED credential, please contact the appropriate jurisdictional agency that administered the GED Tests. A complete listing of these agencies can be found at "Contact your Jurisdiction's GED Testing Program."
