Can GED test scores be upgraded by retesting after a diploma has been awarded?
Passing GED scores for candidates that have qualified for a GED diploma can be upgraded ONLY if higher scores are required by an employer, a college or a university. To upgrade scores, a candidate must have a letter from the college or workplace, on its letterhead, identifying the minimum average score required for employment or enrollment. The letter must be submitted to the State GED Administrator for approval. The candidate will receive a letter from the State GED Administrator either approving or not approving the request. The candidate MUST receive approval BEFORE the tests are retaken.
