By The Numbers-Seven Hours Can Change A Life

$403,000
Average amount of additional money an adult with a high school credential earns compared to an adult without a credential, over the course of a lifetime.

7 hours
The average amount of time it takes to complete the entire GED® test.

Seven hours isn’t a large investment of time, when it comes to education. Earning a GED® test credential in just seven hours can be a life-changing opportunity personally, professionally, and economically. The pay-out over a test-taker’s life is significant. Besides more money, earning a credential gives a test-taker greater pride, satisfaction, and opportunity.

By making the seven hour commitment to take the GED® test, the average test-passer will earn $403,000 more in their lifetime, compared to someone without a credential. That’s a good return on investment.
