Accommodations 

 

According to GEDTS, accommodations are available on the GED Tests “…for adults with documented disabilities as well as learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and emotional or psychological disabilities. Each request is considered on an individual basis. These accommodations may be requested by candidates who have disabilities that can be expected to negatively impact upon the candidate’s chances of passing the GED Tests.” (A Reference Manual for Providing Accommodations on the GED Test, 2005)

Accommodations may be used when taking both the Official GED Practice Test (OPT) and GED Tests.
