Set by GED Testing Service and the Rhode Island Department of Education. Verify on official sources before your test date — rules change.
At 18 you can test on your own. 16- and 17-year-olds can test only with an approved alternative learning plan, parental consent, and permission from their school board. You also have to be a Rhode Island resident.
You cannot already hold a U.S. high-school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a high school at the time you test.
You must be a Rhode Island resident to test here and receive the state credential, which is issued by the Rhode Island Department of Education. Out-of-state testers earn their credential through their home state instead.
A current driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every Rhode Island testing center. Expired IDs and school IDs are not accepted.
Both options are available statewide, and in person is the cheaper of the two here. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private, quiet room.
You must score at least 145 on each of the four subject tests independently. If you miss the mark on one subject, you retake only that subject — not the whole battery.
16- and 17-year-olds test with an approved alternative learning plan, parental consent, and school-board permission; the unconditional testing age is 18. All test-takers must be Rhode Island residents.
These are the official fees from GED Testing Service for Rhode Island test takers — what the test itself costs. Our prep is a separate one-time payment, with a 7-day refund.

In Rhode Island, free adult-education GED prep is state-funded, and for some learners that is a genuinely good fit. Here is an honest look at where it works — and where self-paced online prep works better.
Not sure which fits? The free diagnostic shows you exactly where you stand in Rhode Island, then you decide.
Same four steps for everyone — the timeline is the only thing that changes.
The free diagnostic — 20 questions across all four subjects, about 30 minutes — shows where you stand and what to study first.
Short video lessons, each followed by a practice quiz on the same skill. Work through the modules in order, or start with your weakest subject.
Full-length, timed practice exams scored like the official test are coming soon. Until then, the lesson quizzes are your practice.
Schedule the official GED at a center, or online from home where your state allows it. Pass in any order, on your timeline. Your state mails the diploma.

Schedule the official GED through ged.com (run by GED Testing Service) at a Community College of Rhode Island campus or an adult-education center — or take it online from home with live proctoring. In person is the cheaper option here. The four subject tests can be taken in any order, on separate days, and you only sit the subjects you are ready for.
Yes. The Rhode Island credential, issued by the Rhode Island Department of Education, is treated the same as a high-school diploma by accredited colleges, employers, and every branch of the U.S. military. The Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College accept it for admission, and it meets the diploma requirement for most apprenticeships and licenses in the state.
It depends on how you test. In person is $30 per subject, or $120 for the full battery — among the lowest fees in the country. Online is $36 per subject, or $144. A discounted in-person retake is $13 per subject (or $3 with a $10 voucher), and Rhode Island allows two discounted retakes per subject; online retakes stay $36. The GED Ready practice test is $7.99 per subject. Our prep is a separate one-time payment.
Possibly, under strict conditions. Rhode Island generally requires you to be 18 to test on your own, but 16- and 17-year-olds can test with an approved alternative learning plan, parental consent, and permission from their school board. You must also be a Rhode Island resident and not currently enrolled in a standard high school program. At 18, you can test on your own.
Yes. Online proctored testing runs through GED Testing Service, though it costs a little more than testing in person here. You need a recent 'green' (likely-to-pass) score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private, quiet room. The diploma issued is identical to the in-person credential.
Most learners who study consistently for 45 to 60 minutes a day are test-ready within 8 to 14 weeks. Your day-one diagnostic shows where you actually stand, and the plan adapts from there. Rhode Island does not require a minimum number of prep hours, so you can move as fast as your scores allow.
Yes. You must be a Rhode Island resident to test here and receive the state credential, which is issued by the Rhode Island Department of Education. If you live in another state, you would test and earn your credential there instead.
Yes. The GED test in Rhode Island is offered in English or Spanish, and several local programs run Spanish-language GED classes. You choose your test language at registration. Twigera prep is in English, and we recommend testing in whichever language you read and think in most comfortably. The credential issued is identical regardless of which language you test in.
From a quiet 45 minutes after the kids go down to your name on the Rhode Island Department of Education roster — most learners get there in about three months. Start with the free diagnostic and we'll map the shortest path from where you are.
