What are the placement scores for General Education Development (GED)?

GED students should obtain a minimum 9.0 grade level equivalent on the TABE for each subject area in order to gain the most benefit from the GED preparatory courses. If a student scores a 9.0 grade equivalent or higher in reading and less than 9.0 in mathematics and/or language, the student can be enrolled in both GED and Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs of study.

Students are registered in EDU 075 – GED Preparatory – Comprehensive (LCP A-E) if they lack a State of Florida recognized high school diploma and meet one of the following criteria:

  1. Have never taken the GED test.
  2. Have taken the GED test, but have not passed any of the subtests.
  3. Passed all of the subtests of the GED test without obtaining an overall passing score of 2250.

A student who has taken the GED test and failed at least one, but not all of the subtests, is enrolled in one or more of the following courses:
