Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Is this the official GED RLA test?

No. This is an independent practice course. All passages, questions and essay prompts are original. For official practice, use the free study guide or the GED Ready practice test on the GED website.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a GED score or credential, and it cannot be used as proof of high school equivalency.

Is this the same as Canada's CAEC?

No. This course covers the U.S. GED test from GED Testing Service. The Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) is a different test; for example, it has replaced the GED program in Newfoundland and Labrador.

How is the GED essay scored?

The extended response is scored on three traits: creating an argument and using evidence, developing and organizing ideas, and clear, correct English. Each trait earns 0, 1 or 2 points.

Can my practice score predict my GED score?

No. Practice scores here are feedback only. The official GED Ready practice test is designed to show whether you are likely to pass.

How long is the final assessment?

It has 35 questions in 40 minutes, drawn at random from the whole course, so every attempt is different. You need 80% to earn the certificate. It does not include an essay; practice the essay with the prompts and model essays in Lesson 5.

Czy zaświadczenie jest akredytowane lub oficjalnie uznawane?

Nie. To prywatne zaświadczenie o ukończeniu, wyłącznie dla Twojej wiedzy. Nie jest uznawane, akredytowane ani zatwierdzone przez żaden rząd, organ licencyjny, regulatora ani instytucję edukacyjną i nie zastępuje żadnej licencji, certyfikacji ani szkolenia wymaganych przez prawo.
