How to Get Your GED Online: The 2026 Legitimate Path (and the Scams to Avoid)

You can earn the real GED online through OnVUE, the official Pearson VUE platform — provided your state participates, you score "green" on GED Ready within 60 days, and your equipment plus testing space meet the standards. Real cost: $30–$45 per subject ($120–$180 total). Anything promising an "instant" or "free" GED certificate without a proctored test is a diploma-mill scam.
