Discounted Retake Program (Does not apply to international testing or for the Online Proctored GED® Test (US Only))
Under the GED® test Discounted Retake Program, eligible candidates receive one discounted retake for each failed attempt on a GED® test subject. This discounted retake is valid for twelve months after the initial subject area test attempt. For each discounted retake, GED Testing Service waives all the GED® test fee, so the only cost for the candidate is applicable state or testing center fees.
ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES RECEIVE ONE DISCOUNTED RETAKE PER FAILED SUBJECT
- One GED® test subject purchase and failed attempt = 1 discounted retake.
- Candidates can only schedule one discounted retake at a time for the discount to apply. The discount is applied automatically.
- Candidates cannot use more than one automatic discount at a time, but can apply other vouchers or promo codes to cover the remaining amount.
- GED Testing Service waives the GED® test fee for every retake ($26 per subject area test).
- In states with additional fees, Candidates are responsible for paying these fees when they schedule their discounted retake. Additional fees may include:
- State fees
- Statewide testing center fees
- States and testing centers can choose to waive their fees.
- Retakes must occur within 12 calendar months of the initial failed attempt.
- Candidates can test three times on the same subject without waiting. After the third attempt, there is a 60-day waiting period before trying again.
- Please note: Retake policies may vary by state; please review the state policy pages for specific details on individual state retake policies.
- If a Candidate is a “no-show” for the retake, the candidate forfeits the test center fee.
