A State of Florida High School Diploma is awarded to a candidate who attains a standard score of 145
or above on each of the four GED® subtests. Candidates may retake one or more subtests, for a fee of
not less than the total national and state required fee nor more than twelve (12) dollars shall be paid
by the candidate for each retake.

GED Testing Service® has the following retake policy:
A student can take his or her first three attempts per subject area without wait time restrictions. All
subsequent attempts are subject to a 60-day waiting period between attempts. There is no maximum
limit to the number of attempts per student within a year. The total number of attempts is dependent
on when a student schedules his or her test. (GED Testing Service® Client Reference Guide 4/2014).
