GED Testing Is Free In Massachusetts

In this episode, we focus our attention on how the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESD) had made GED and HiSET testing free for state residents.

To access the free exams, test-takers must use specific promo codes during registration. While the GED exam itself is free, the associated GED Ready practice tests are not covered and cost $6.99 each.

Massachusetts residents can combine scores from both the GED and HiSET exams to meet the state's High School Equivalency Diploma requirements. This offers flexibility in choosing and completing the required tests.

We also address how this initiative significantly reduces financial barriers to obtaining a high school equivalency diploma, offering greater opportunities for residents to pursue further education and career advancements.
