Here&#8217;s why and what it means for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GED is a high school equivalency diploma, not a traditional high school transcript. It consists of four subject tests (Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science), each scored from <strong>100 to 200<\/strong>. To pass, you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At least 145<\/strong> on each test (passing level).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>580 total<\/strong> across all four tests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No single test below <strong>145<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your final credential simply states <strong>&#8220;Passed&#8221;<\/strong> or includes a <strong>total score<\/strong> (e.g., 620\/800) and may note <strong>college-ready<\/strong> (165\u2013174) or <strong>college-ready+credit<\/strong> (175\u2013200) distinctions. <strong>No letter grades (A, B, C) are assigned<\/strong>, so <strong>no GPA is calculated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why no GPA?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GPA requires <strong>course-by-course grades<\/strong> over semesters (e.g., 4.0 for an A).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GED is a <strong>single battery of tests<\/strong>, not a multi-year curriculum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It proves <strong>high school-level competency<\/strong>, not academic performance over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to use instead:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>List your GED with total score<\/strong> on applications (e.g., &#8220;GED, 2025 \u2013 Total Score: 680\/800&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highlight <strong>college-ready<\/strong> status if achieved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many colleges accept GED + <strong>placement tests<\/strong> (like Accuplacer) for admission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers value the <strong>equivalency<\/strong> focus on skills gained.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short: <strong>Your GPA is N\/A<\/strong>. Your GED proves you meet high school standards, but it\u2019s a pass\/fail equivalency, not a graded transcript. Celebrate the achievement it opens doors to college, jobs, and training!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq-categories":[],"class_list":["post-2122","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>What is my GPA if I got my GED?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ED GPA: No GPA with a GED\u2014it&#039;s pass\/fail!
