Frequently Asked Questions

My first language is not English. May I take the test in my native language? The GED Testing Service also publishes the tests in French and Spanish. On January 1, 2004, the transcript of candidates electing to be administered the GED Test in a language other than English will reflect that the test was printed in that language. Those candidates may also elect to take the GEDTS' English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) Test. Candidates achieving a standard score of not less than four hundred (400) on the ESL Test will have demonstrated English reading proficiency according to GEDTS' minimum score standards and this will be reflected on the Official Transcript of GED Tests Results.
