It is earned by taking and passing all four GED test subjects.  \n“GED graduates have included governors, space pioneers, lawmakers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers and contribute to every sector of our economy and lives,” said GED Testing Service Vice President CT Turner. “GED Grad Week is an opportunity to celebrate GED gradsand showcase some of their contributions to our country, while encouraging those without a diploma to take that first step towards a better future.”  \nApproximately 150,000 Americans pass the GED test annually, and there are more than 21 million GED graduates worldwide. The GED test is currently available in more than 90 countries.  \nGED graduates are in a strong position to compete with traditional high school graduates, especially after earning a certificate or degree in addition to a GED credential. Research shows that one in two GED graduates enter a college program within four years of passing the test. In addition, 90% of these GED graduates are also re-enrolling in these programs from one semester to the next.  \nAdditional GED graduate success stories are available here and profiles on some of our GEDWorks program graduates are available here.  \nVisit [GED.com](GED.com) for more details about the GED test program.  \n\\#\\#\\#  \nAbout GED Testing Service  \nThe GED test has opened doors to better jobs and college programs for more than 21 million graduates since 1942.
