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.
