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
• Reading
• 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.
