To register for and take the GED final exam you will need to:

Based on your scores of the GED exam, the State of Kansas Board of Regents can issue you a Kansas State High School Diploma.
The five areas tested over are:
- Writing
- Social Studies
- Science

- Math
The five basic tests are multiple choice. The writing portion also has an additional part—the essay. You are given a statement or question, and you have to write your opinion in a specific amount of time.
Each test battery must score a minimum of 420 with an overall total of 2250 in order to pass.
