​Testing accommodations are available for the GED^® test for those with documented disabilities. Individuals with documented disabilities should specify the need for accommodations under the personal information in their profile at their MyGED^® account at www.GED.com. Test-takers should work directly with the accommodations team at the GED Testing Service^® to apply for testing accommodations. With permission from the test-taker, the educator can be designated as an advocate and assist the test-taker with the accommodations request process. A test-taker who indicates that they require modifications on the GED^® test will be presented with an option to select the extended time GED^® test even if it has not yet been approved. When students who indicate they need to request modified testing conditions login to purchase the GED Ready^® Practice Test, they will see a link asking if they need information about the GED Ready^® Practice Test with extended time accommodations. Students who click on the link will be given a Customer Support phone number to call and order the appropriate test. The use of extended testing time on the GED Ready^® Practice Test does not guarantee this accommodation will be approved for the GED^® test. If additional accommodations are needed on the practice test, please email GED@ky.gov for guidance.
