At what score must a candidate pass the GED tests?

To pass the GED tests, a candidate must achieve a score of 410 on each of the four subject area tests. This score is the minimum threshold that indicates a sufficient level of knowledge and readiness to receive a high school equivalency credential. The GED test is designed to measure high school-level skills and knowledge, and the passing score reflects the standard needed for candidates to demonstrate they possess the necessary competencies.

Scoring below this minimum signifies that a candidate has not fully met the expected knowledge requirements in those areas. Conversely, achieving a score of 410 or higher suggests proficiency and a greater likelihood of success in further educational pursuits or career opportunities, which is the ultimate goal of earning a GED.
