Our Dallas graduates have gone on to Dallas College nursing and CDL programs, Parkland Health support roles, and employers from Texas Instruments to the warehouses along I-35 that require the diploma.
Four credentialed teachers — one per subject — answer your questions seven days a week. Median reply: under four hours. No ticket queue, no chatbot.
Fee subsidies and free-testing programs. Confirm eligibility and current funding on the official source before you rely on one.
Full GED test fees
Texas pays GED test fees for eligible residents age 21 and older while funding lasts; apply through a local TWC Adult Education and Literacy program.
The GED is run by GED Testing Service — a joint venture of Pearson and the American Council on Education — not a government agency. Fee and prep assistance is administered state by state, so it varies and you should confirm what your state offers — though much of the underlying adult-education funding is federal (WIOA Title II). Eligibility and funding change; always check the official source before relying on one.
Real Dallas students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters.
Started the LVN nursing track at Dallas College.
“I studied at the kitchen table after my daughter went to bed, about an hour a night. Eleven weeks later I passed all four. Dallas College took the diploma straight away.”
Earned a CDL and started driving for a Dallas logistics company.
“Math was my wall. The short lessons let me redo the same idea three times until it clicked. I tested at the Eastfield campus and was done in ten weeks.”

The official test costs $36.25 per subject, or $145 for the full four-subject battery — the same price across Texas, and among the lowest GED test fees in the country. If you fail a subject, the discounted in-person retake is $16.25 (GED Testing Service waives its $26 fee). The discount is valid 12 months and resets each time you re-pay full price. Online proctored testing is $42.25 per subject and online retakes are not discounted.
Yes. Online proctored testing is available 24/7 from any address in the Dallas metro. 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 you receive is identical to the one from an in-person test.
Yes. The GED test in Texas is offered in English or Spanish, in person and online — you choose at registration. Twigera's prep is in English; we recommend testing in whichever language you read and think in most comfortably. The diploma issued is identical regardless of which language you test in.
