Warning Issued About Fake GED Testing Services
GED testing officials are advising people that the GED credential cannot be earned via the Internet or through correspondence programs.
State GED administrators nationwide have reported receiving increasing numbers of complaints from individuals who paid steep fees to take what they thought were the official GED Tests and, upon passing, thought they had earned the highly recognized GED credential issued by their respective state GED testing agency.

It's high stakes — and if you can't pass the test, people are tempted to go other routes and spend a lot of money on something that really is of no value to them," says Bill Poteet, director of Missouri's GED testing program.
