The GED (General Educational Development) exam does not use a 450-point scale. Instead, each of the four GED subject tests is scored on a scale of 100 to 200. Therefore, a total score like \u201c450\u201d does not exist in the current GED scoring system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The passing score for each subject is 145 out of 200. To earn your high school equivalency credential, you must score at least 145 on all four tests\u2014for a minimum total of 580 across all subjects, though this total is not used for certification. Only individual subject scores matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people mistakenly refer to \u201c450 on GED\u201d because older versions of the GED (prior to 2014) used a different scale (200\u2013800 per subject, with 410\u2013450 as the passing range). However, since 2014, the GED has used the 100\u2013200 scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Today\u2019s GED Scoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the current system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>145\u2013164<\/strong>: Pass \/ High School Equivalency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>165\u2013174<\/strong>: College Ready<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theentrypass.com\/resources\/faq\/is-175-a-good-ged-score\/\">175\u2013200<\/a><\/strong>: College Ready + Credit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong score per subject is 165 or higher\u2014not 450. If someone says they scored \u201c450 on GED,\u201d they may be averaging their old scores or misremembering the scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re preparing for the GED, focus on achieving at least 145 per subject, with 165+ if you plan to attend college. Use the official GED Ready practice test to gauge readiness\u2014it provides scores on the correct 100\u2013200 scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check your scores on your official GED account at GED.com to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is understanding the current scale\u2014not legacy numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your goal is 145+ per subject, not a total like 450.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq-categories":[],"class_list":["post-2026","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is a 450 on GED a good Score? | The Entry Pass<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"No, 450 on GED is not a valid score\u2014and this is a common point of confusion.
