How is it Scored? Your performance on each of the five GED Tests is reported in two ways: as "standard scores," ranging from 200-800, and "percentile ranks," ranging from 1 to 99. Both scores compare your results to scores earned by a recent representative national sample of high school seniors. A standard score of 410 on each test and an average score of 450 for the five-test battery is the minimum passing standard set by General Educational Development Testing Service.
The percentile rank column shows the percentage of graduating seniors who earned scores at or below your test scores.
If your scores do not meet the required passing score, the "NON-PASS" box is marked.** If you have not taken all five tests, "INC" (incomplete) appears.
** If you do not pass, you can retake the GED Tests in order to raise your scores. The local GED Examiner can provide information about retesting. If you earn a standard score of 350 or below, GED Testing Service generally recommends further study in those subject areas. You may also consider contacting local adult education programs for information about instructional classes.
