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.”
