Your online GED® account is the place where tests are scheduled and scores are retrieved. If you are enrolled in our GED Preparation Program, we will assist you with creating this account, scheduling, and paying for your tests.
If you prefer to pay for your own tests, creating an account is easy. Just go to GED.com to get started.
In South Carolina, if you are under age 19, you must first create your MyGED account, then submit the Verification of Withdrawal from South Carolina Schools form for age approval to vow@ed.sc.gov before scheduling your GED tests.
