Scores & Transcripts

How do I get my score results?
  • You may use your access code to access your scores at www.ged123.org. It takes approximately 1 week for scores to be updated at ged123.org.
  • You may also come by the GED center the Friday after your session with picture ID to receive your scores.
  • We cannot under any circumstances give out scores over the phone.
What are passing scores?
  • The GED sub tests use a Standard Score that ranges from 200 to 800. The passing score for each sub test is 410. In order to pass the GED and receive a certificate, your overall average for the five sub tests must be at least 450 for a total score of 2250. CWI requires an average of 450, however other colleges and universities requirements may vary. Please check with the institution prior to testing.
What if I fail one of the tests?
  • If you fail a test, you may retake it using a different form. We have 3 forms of each sub test available each year. Retests cost $18 each. You should study before you test again and may choose to enroll in our ABE program.
What if I pass the GED but want a higher score?
  • People who have earned their GED may retest to improve their scores, if required to meet an admission requirement for post-secondary education or training or to meet employment conditions. A letter from the institution or the employer will be required and a fee will be charged to retest.
How do I have official transcripts sent?
  • A signed Download PDFtranscript release form must be completed, if you desire your official scores to be sent to a school or program of your choice. The cost is $5.
What if I start taking my GED tests in another state or at another center?
  • Please call us in advance if you have started the testing process at another test center or in another state.
  • If you started in another state, you MUST bring us an official score report of tests taken www.ged123.org, and a $12 registration fee will be charged as well as the $15 per test fee. The registration fee will be waived if previous tests were taken in the state of Idaho since 2002.
