The Louisiana Department of Education does not allow people to take the GED test online because of security concerns. The Department of Education wants to be sure that it is the actual registered person taking the exam.
If the Louisiana Department of Education allowed for the GED exam to be taken online, that would leave the exam vulnerable to hackers. Hackers could then change the test or sell it for money online.
If you are looking to take a GED test and you are 17 or older, you must take an adult education class, according to Diploma Guide. However, there are practice classes and practice tests that can be useful in studying online. Contact the local adult education program to find out where classes and tests are offered in your area.
