Notice from the Texas Education Agency

Effective January 26, 2016, the minimum passing score for the high school equivalency exam has changed from 150 to 145 on all GED subject area tests. As a result, tests taken since January 1, 2014 in the score range from 145 to149 are now passing. By early February, the state will award and email high school equivalency credentials to those who have now passed all four tests.
