How to Earn My GED Through Home Correspondence

Studying at home for your GED means that you can avoid going to on-site test preparation courses and study when you have the time. Even though you must take the GED exam at one of the approximately 3,400 testing centers around the country, you can prepare to take the GED exam at home if you are self-motivated and can study without going to a traditional class. Several resources are available to help you study to earn your GED from home. Some are online, and others are paper-based for those who have limited Internet access.

The GED Testing Service partners with Steck-Vaughn, Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and the Paxen Group to provide at-home preparation services, including an online practice test and a television series for GED preparation on many PBS stations across the country. Costs of different courses vary.
