Big Changes Are Coming to GED Testing. How Can Public Libraries Help?

In January 2014, GED Testing Service will be launching a new GED® test and this new test will only be offered on computer. The new test will use technology to better measure the skills that adults need to be successful in college and the workforce. GED® testing on computer also allows test-takers to take advantage of a host of benefits on computer, including online registration and scheduling, instant score reports and a more flexible testing experience. In fact, 42 states now offer the current GED® test on computer as an option, and test-takers using the new computer system are passing at higher rates, finishing faster, and retake failed test at much higher rates.
