Since 1942 the GEDreg testing program has helped nearly 19 million adults earn a high school-equivalency credential and open doors to better jobs college classrooms and higher wages

THE 2014 GEDreg TEST

Today adult learners face new challenges to meet the growing demands of education and the job market GED Testing Service developed the 2014 GEDreg test to help adults achieve high school equivalency and demonstrate readiness for opportunities in college and careers

Why a new GEDreg test1) To award a high school equivalency diploma based on

current high school graduation standards and prevailing national and state content standards

2) To provide specific information about academic strengths and weaknesses that help test-takers improve their performance

3) To present a framework for test-takers to demonstrate readiness for employment workforce training programs or postsecondary education

ldquoWe need to make sure that when these adults get a GEDreg that it is equivalent to what high school is all about and they can go and perform in the workplace and higher educationrdquo
