Hello everyone! I want to share some news news coming from KY Adult Education!
On January 26, 2016, GED Testing Service® (GEDTS®) announced that,
after extensive analysis of test-taker’s performance data from the past 18 months, the passing
score for high school equivalency was reset from 150 to 145. This change was retroactive to
scores earned since January 1, 2014.
In addition, two optional levels above high school equivalency were added:
• GED® College Ready (165 – 174)
• GED® College Ready + Credit (175 – 200)
These are performance level designations recommended by GEDTS® to signify readiness
to enter credit-bearing classes and may qualify students at the upper level for college credit.
These may be considered at the discretion of post secondary education institutions. This is wonderful news as it has allowed us to better serve our students and our community. Please pass this information along to your parents and/or anyone needing to obtain their GED. Now is the time!
