To be eligible for GED testing in Wisconsin, you must be at least 18.5 years old and not currently enrolled in high school.

The GED test is made up of four core subjects: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. You can complete them all at once or take them one at a time, depending on your readiness and schedule.

Wisconsin offers both in-person and online GED testing.
