Pass/High School Equivalency:  ≥145
GED.com: “If you score a 145 on each test subject, that means you have passed! Scoring at the passing level is a great accomplishment and allows you to build upon your future. You can go on to college, advance your career, and earn more money.”

Pass/College Ready:  ≥165
GED.com: “If you score in the 165-174 score range, that means you have the skills needed to start college-level courses and may be exempt from placement tests or remedial (non-credit) courses in college. This will save you money and help you earn your degree faster.”

Pass/College Ready + College Credit:  ≥175
GED.com: “If you score in the 175-200 range, that means you have demonstrated skills that are being taught in college-level courses and could be eligible to earn college credit! Depending on the program you apply to, you may be able to earn up to 3 credits in Math, 3 credits in Science, 3 credits in Social Studies, and 1 credit in Humanities. By earning college credit, you have the ability to bypass certain required classes which ultimately saves you time and money.”

Be careful with score explanations; they don’t account for your motivation and goals.
