| Introduction |
|
For more than sixty years, the GED® Tests have offered personal satisfaction and broadened professional, occupational and educational opportunities for millions of adults, who, for many reasons, were unable to complete their formal high school credential. The GED Tests give adults who did not graduate from high school the opportunity to earn a high school equivalency certificate. Recognized nationwide by employers and educators, the GED certificate has increased education and employment opportunities for millions of adults since 1942.
The following information is for the State of Oregon GED Program. For general GED testing information and for sample questions explore the GED Testing Service website at http://www.gedtest.org.
