Ever wonder..........

Who produces the GED Tests?
The GED Tests are developed, delivered, and safeguarded by content specialists, researchers, psychometricians, and other staff of GED® Testing Service, a nonprofit program of the American Council on Education®. The tests are owned by ACE.

How does the GED testing program work?
The GED testing program is an international partnership involving GED Testing Service, each of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, the Canadian provinces and territories, the U.S. insular areas, the U.S. military and federal correctional institutions, and the veterans administration hospitals.
GED Testing Service establishes the test administration procedures and passing standard. All jurisdictions administer the GED Tests and award their high school credentials to adults who meet the GED Tests passing standards and any other additional jurisdictional requirements.

How many people take the GED Tests?
In 2009, more than 788,000 adults worldwide took some portion of the GED test battery. Of that total, more than 680,000 completed the battery of five tests and 472,000 (69%) earned passing scores on the five-test battery.
