If you’ve recently earned your GED, or General Educational Development, you might be wondering what your GPA, or grade point average, is based on your GED score. The GED is a high school equivalency test that measures a person’s knowledge and skills in five subject areas: mathematics, science, social studies, language arts (reading and writing), and language arts (writing only). It’s designed to be the equivalent of a high school education.
It’s important to note that the GED test is not a traditional grading system, and your GED score is not converted into a GPA. Instead, your GED score is a measure of your knowledge and skills in the five subject areas of the test.
The passing score for the GED test is a minimum of 145 out of a possible 200 points in each subject area of the test. This means that to pass the GED, you must earn at least 725 points overall (145 points x 5 subject areas). If you earn a higher score on the GED test, it does not translate into a higher GPA.
In summary, the GED test is not a traditional grading system, and your GED score is not converted into a GPA. Instead, your GED score is a measure of your knowledge and skills in the five subject areas of the test. The passing score for the GED test is a minimum of 145 out of a possible 200 points in each subject area, for a total of at least 725 points overall.
