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.

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.
