The Official GED Test will be changing in the next few months. The cost to take the GED Test is now $60.00. After July 1, 2012 the cost will be $120.00. Another change is the GED Test will become a computerized test. In other words, you will no longer take the test with pencil and paper and write your essay question.If you are interested in getting your GED, now is the time to act. If you have taken the Official GED Test and need to retest one or two parts, you need to do so immediately. After July 1, 2012 your previous GED Test scores will be voided; therefore you will have to take the entire, new GED Test again.
