Ohio recognizes the GED® examination as being the equivalent of a high school diploma. Like a regular high school diploma, the GED® diploma enables the holder the opportunity to obtain employment, apply for career advancement, pursue higher education goals, or to reach a personal goal.
The Official GED® Test is administered at PearsonVue Testing Centers. All GED® testing is done by appointment only. Appointments are made on-line after completing an on-line registration at
www.GED.com. The fee for the test is $144.
