Connecticut GED Practice Test

The best way to make sure you pass the Connecticut GED test is to be prepared. If you think you’re ready for the test, or if you want to know what to study, you should take a GED practice test. While Connecticut doesn’t require a practice test to take the GED, a practice test can improve your GED scores and is highly recommended. Most testing sites offer Official Practice Tests.

Connecticut GED Testing Eligibility

To take the GED in Connecticut, you must live in the state of Connecticut. To register for the test, you need to be at least 17 years old and officially withdrawn from school for six months or more. You cannot be enrolled in school, or have graduated high school, but you can take the GED test if you have a diploma from an unaccredited high school or a high school outside the U.S. or Canada.

To take the GED, you’ll need a Connecticut photo ID such as a driver’s license, or other valid proof of your identity and that you live in Connecticut. If you’re 17 or 18, you’ll need proof that you have been withdrawn from school for at least six months or that your high school class has already graduated. If you’re seventeen, you will also need a withdrawal form signed by a parent or guardian.

If you are 17 or 18 and were home schooled, have your parent or guardian contact the State of Connecticut GED Office at (860) 807-2111 or ged@ct.gov for a home-schooling attestation form signed by the GED Administrator.

Don’t take the Connecticut GED test unless you’re prepared. You can pass, but if you’re like most people, you’ll need some brush-up and to get familiar with the test. Find out about GED online classes.

Connecticut GED: College Eligibility

More than 60 percent of GED test-takers plan to go on to college. The GED exam can help you get there. Ninety-eight percent of colleges and universities in the U.S. accept the GED credential, though some colleges require additional tests, such as the SAT or the ACE. Check with the admissions offices of the colleges you’re interested in for their requirements. Beware of online high school degrees that colleges won’t accept.

Connecticut GED Retesting

If you took the CN GED test and did not pass, you don’t have to take the whole test again, just the parts you did not pass. The fee to retest is $13, and you’ll need to take all the subjects and wait until the fourth month after your test date to retest. For example, if you took the test in January, you can retest in May. You can take the test up to three times a year. Before you test again, it’s important to go back and study, to make sure that you’re prepared.
