GED Announcement:

GED Testing Service raised the price of the GED test from $37.50 to $43.50 effective July 1, 2023. This price increase only affects in-person tests at testing centers; the Online Proctored test cost will not increase. The retake policy will also change to allow for one discounted retake after failing a subject (rather than two discounted retakes). You may read more about this change on GED's Colorado Policy page.
