anyone who earned a score of between 145 to 149 on the four tests that are part of the GED will now have passing scores.

but there's a pretty sad part to this, if you read the article

quote:


spokesman for the GED Testing Service, said the change in the passing score was made after 18 months of analysis found people who earned a GED were performing better than those who received a high school diploma — with fewer of the GED students requiring remedial courses in college.

The service also added two additional scoring levels: A score of 165 to 174 will indicate the test-taker is college-ready, and GED officials hope that will mean colleges will allow them to skip having to take placement exams. A score of 175 and above, officials say, should qualify students for up to 10 college credits, though that will be up to individual higher education institutions to decide.
