What kind of diploma will I get if I pass the GED test?

The South Carolina Department of Education issues a South Carolina High School Equivalency Diploma to those who successfully pass all five GED tests with an average score of 450, for a total score of 2250 and a minimum score of 410 on each of the five tests.

Is it possible to retake or retest if I fail the GED test?

If you do not pass the examination, you may take the GED tests over as many times as you need. Your transcript will indicate the highest test score from each of the five sections of the GED test.

There are some restrictions when applying to be retested:

If your total standard score is under 2150, you must take the entire five-part GED examination again. You must choose one day to repeat the GED exam.

If your total standard score is 2150 or above, you may take any individual GED tests that you choose. You must, however, repeat any tests on which you received a score that is less than 410.
