North Carolina Included in GED® Changes; Former RCC Test Takers May Be Eligible For Diplomas

GED Testing Service announced revisions to the “cut” or passing scores, as well as performance levels for its high school equivalency test, and is making those revisions retroactive to Jan. 1, 2014, when the 2014 GED Test series was first released. North Carolina will join 32 states in recognizing these changes immediately, possibly resulting in as many as 700 new high school equivalency diploma holders in the state.

GED Testing Service is contacting those affected by the changes via email; however, test takers with questions can log into their MyGED.com account or go to http://www.gedtestingservice.com/testers/tester-score-change-faqs for information, according to Sandra J. Hartz, director of adult basic education and adult high school at RCC.
