The Tests of General Educational Development (GED Tests) are developed by the General Educational Development Testing Services (GEDTS) of the American Council on Education (ACE). The GED Tests are designed to measure the major and lasting academic outcomes students normally acquired by completing a typical high school program of study and are available to adults who did not graduate from high school. In the state of Alabama, the GED Tests are offered in English, Spanish and French. The passing standard for the GED Tests is a total score of not less than 2250 total points with an average standard score of not less than four hundred fifty (450) on the total battery AND not less than four hundred ten (410) on each of the five (5) tests in the battery. Listed below are the test areas, number of questions in each area and the time limits.
