That was the attitude of the old GED Testing Service. Now there is a whole program developed around the test takers.
In late November the My GED web portal will be available for people to take an updated, computerized GED test aligned with more rigorous academic standards that start in 2014.
The overhaul to the 70-year old test is an attempt to meet the call for more skilled workers. In our nation where about two-thirds of all jobs require more than a high school education, 39 million adults did not finish high school. These drops outs need a second chance.
The non-profit American Council on Education, which administered the old test, partnered with Pearson, the world’s largest education and testing company, to finance and engineer what has become a $30 million, three-year endeavor to overhaul the exam.
If you need a GED, stop delaying. Get it online in November.
