GED Science — Assessment Overview
The GED Science test runs for 90 minutes and covers life science, physical science, earth and space science, and science practices. It uses multiple choice, drag-and-drop, fill-in-the-blank, hot spot, and short answer questions. A score of 145 out of 200 is required to pass.
Life Science — Cells, genetics, ecosystems, and evolution — roughly 40% of the test
Physical Science — Energy, forces, motion, and chemical reactions — roughly 40% of the test
Earth and Space Science — Geologic cycles, climate, and the solar system — roughly 20% of the test
Science Practices — Reading data, evaluating arguments, and applying scientific reasoning across all domains
Extended Response — One written task requiring you to analyse competing scientific viewpoints using evidence
Our tutors work through every GED Science content area, from interpreting experimental data to writing the extended response. All sessions are live and 1:1.
All four GED subject tests available. Contact us to discuss your full GED preparation plan.
The GED Science test is scored on a 100 to 200 scale. A score of 145 is required to pass. Scores of 165 and above indicate college readiness, and 175 or above signals potential for college credit.

The GED Science test is not simply a knowledge exam. It tests whether you can read scientific passages, interpret graphs and data tables, and construct a written argument using evidence. A specialist tutor changes your preparation by targeting exactly those skills.
The GED Science assessment covers three broad domains: life science (approximately 40%), physical science (approximately 40%), and earth and space science (approximately 20%). Questions use multiple choice, drag-and-drop, hot spot, and fill-in-the-blank formats.
The extended response item asks you to read two short passages presenting competing scientific viewpoints and write a response that analyses which is better supported by evidence. Many test-takers underestimate this task. A 1:1 tutor helps you practise structuring this response clearly within the time limit.
Science practices, which underpin every question on the test, include designing experiments, interpreting data displays, evaluating conclusions, and applying scientific reasoning. These are transferable skills your tutor will reinforce across all three science domains.

The GED Science test is 90 minutes long. It includes approximately 34 to 40 questions across multiple choice, drag-and-drop, fill-in-the-blank, hot spot, and short answer formats, plus one extended response item.
The test covers three domains: life science (roughly 40%), physical science (roughly 40%), and earth and space science (roughly 20%). All questions are underpinned by science practices skills such as data analysis and experimental reasoning.
A score of 145 out of 200 is required to pass. Scores of 165 and above indicate college readiness, and scores of 175 or above may qualify for college credit at participating institutions.
The GED Science test does not include a built-in calculator. However, some questions may provide on-screen exhibits such as data tables, graphs, or diagrams that you must interpret to answer correctly.
The extended response asks you to read two short passages presenting competing scientific arguments and write a structured response explaining which is better supported by evidence. Your tutor will practise this format with you in full.
