The GED^®College Ready (CR) and GED^® College Ready + Credit (CR+) score levels were created to help move students more quickly into and through college certificate and degree programs. Based on recommendations from the ACE Credit^® program — the same program that backs CLEP and Advanced Placement (AP) — students scoring at these levels have demonstrated readiness to enter credit-bearing classes, and some have even demonstrated college-level skills and knowledge.

GED^® College Ready:
Students who score 165-174 (on any test subject) should qualify for waivers from developmental education course and from applicable placement testing. These scores are equivalent to the top 9-27% of the national average of graduating high school seniors.

GED^® College Ready + Credit:
Students who score 175-200 (on any test subject) have demonstrated skills that could qualify them for college credit. These scores are equivalent to the top 1-8% of the national average of graduating high school seniors.
