How can admissions officers evaluate these nontraditional applicants?  \nThe GED® test is aligned to leading college-and career-readiness standards.  \nGED Testing Service offers clear guidance on how to evaluate its graduates, including those who have passed the GED® test. These  \ngraduates have demonstrated the skills necessary to earn a high school diploma, including the critical thinking, problem solving, and computer skills needed for college-and career-readiness. GED Testing Service recommends that individuals who pass the GED® test be accepted as highschool graduates for the purposes of college admissions.  \nAbout the current GED® test  \nTo ensure it continues to measure the content and skills included in the current high school  \ncurriculum, the GED® test undergoes regular review and revision. The most recent version of the test launched on January 2, 2014.  \nFor the first time, the GED® test is fully-aligned to leading college-and career-readiness content standards, measuring both high school equivalency and college-and career-readiness. The GED® test is primarily computer-based and is made up of four test subjects:  \n1. Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA)  \n2. Mathematical Reasoning  \n3. Science  \n4. Social Studies  \nThe test includes written responses that assess the test-taker’s thinking and writing skills, known as “constructed response” items.  \nInterpreting scores  \nGED® test scores for each test subject range from 100 to 200. Test-takers must earn a minimum score of 145 on each test subject to pass and earn the high school equivalency credential. The GED® test has two additional passing levels: GED® College Ready (165- 174) and GED® College Ready + Credit (175-200) .  \n175  \nGED® College Ready + Credit. Test-takers demonstrate some of the skills that are taught in college-level courses, and may be eligible to earn up to 10 college credits.  \n\n| 165 | \u003Cbr>GED® College Ready. Test-takers demonstrate the skills needed to enroll directly in first year, credit-bearing college courses. |\n| --- | --- |\n| 145 | \u003Cbr>GED® Passing Score for High School Equivalency. Jurisdictions award a high school equivalency credential to individuals who earn a score of at least 145 on each of the four test subjects. |\n\nGED® and GED Testing Service® are registered trademarks of the American Council on Education.

S. national class rank from GED® test scores.  \n• If a school admits students that graduated in the top half of their classes, it may require GED® test graduates earn an average score of at least 157.  \n• If a school offers merit scholarships to graduates in the top 10% of their highschool classes, it may award schol","cbCaimXLGcnxTCxt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimXLGcnxTCxt","pdf",446676,"English","# About the GED® Program\n## About the current GED® test\n## Interpreting scores\n## College admissions\n## Standardization and norming\n## ACE CREDIT® Recommendations","[{\"question\":\"How should admissions officers evaluate GED® test applicants?\",\"answer\":\"The guide states that GED Testing Service recommends accepting GED® test passers as high school graduates for college admissions purposes.
