A new GED

The American Council on Education (ACE) and Pearson announced they will partner together to develop a new computer-based GED test, aligned with the Common Core State Standards.

Nearly 800,000 GED Tests are taken each year, and in 2009, more than 470,000 individuals were awarded their high school credential.

The three primary components of the GED new test will include: a new, more rigorous GED Test aligned with Common Core State Standards designed to ensure career- and college-readiness; a national test preparation program featuring an expanding array of innovative and personalized learning resources; and a transition network that connects GED test-takers to career and postsecondary educational opportunities.
