If you use the Official Spanish Practice Tests, please be aware that the scaled scores are WAY off! The scale needs to be recalculated to being in line with the Standard test scoring. We narrowly missed a tragedy of thinking a student was ready for testing because of scores of the practice tests were acceptable. Do check it out and rescale befor relying too heavily on the Official Spanish Practice tests. Karen Stange stange@gcnet.com >The GED test in English and the one in Spanish is not exactly the same.
