Did you know these facts?

The General Educational Development (GED) Testing Service develops and distributes the GED Tests.

More than 600,000 adults worldwide take the GED Tests each year.

Those who obtain scores high enough to earn a GED credential outperform at least 40 percent of today’s high school seniors.

GED graduates include: comedian Bill Cosby, actor Christian Slater, Delaware’s Governor Ruth Ann Minner, and U.S. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado.

One out of every seven high school diplomas issued each year in the United States is based on passing the GED Tests.

More than 95 percent of U.S. employers consider GED graduates the same as traditional high school graduates in regard to hiring, salary, and opportunity for advancement.
