GED 2002 |
Your State Adult Education OfficeWhat do GED instructors and GED candidates want to know about the 2002 series GED tests? The essentials, according to the GED Testing Service, boils down to two questions: "What remains the same?" and "What is different?" The GED Test Development staff have developed some answers to these questions for each of the five tests in the GED battery. The Tests of General Educational Development (GED) Tests will continue to measure the outcomes of a four-year program of secondary school education in the U.S. and Canada. Developed by committees of professional educators and test specialists in each subject area, the GED tests are administered to graduating high school seniors to establish the passing standard. Individual states, provinces, and territories may set a passing standard higher than, but not lower than, the mark established by the GED Testing Service. The 2002 series GED Tests will continue to follow their original purpose of providing a basis for conferring a high school equivalency diploma on adults who have not graduated from traditional high school. The new tests reflect the most up-to-date, widely used secondary school curriculum standards and standardized assessment practices available. As with previous GED tests, the 2002 series tests will cover the core academic areas of writing, language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics. Additional information can be found on the GED Web site at www.gedtest.org. At the State Office you may contact Myrna Saucedo-Schwarz regarding the GED 2002.
