During this limited time pilot, students who complete the GED Online Practice Test, which mimics the pencil and paper test, for free before they complete the official GED test will be compensated for their time from PearsonVUE and Texas Education Agency.
 
Test-takers can earn approximately $100 depending on how well they do on the test.  Test-takers with any level of computer experience are encouraged to participate. The computer testing system was designed for those with even minimal computer, typing or keyboarding skills.
