ALL GED EXAMINEES

GEDTS has announced that the new GED Test, 5th Edition, will not be released on January 1, 2012. Due to more rigorous national standards for a high school education and what it means to be a high school graduate and what is needed to be college and career ready GEDTS will introduce changes and improvements to the GED Test that will align to this new direction. This new program, GED 20/20, will dramatically prepare individuals to pursue postsecondary education opportunities. The Series 2002 GED Tests will remain valid.

Persons seeking to meet the Iowa High School Equivalency Diploma requirements should be aware of companies that claim to offer the Test
of General Educational Development (GED) over the Internet or through correspondence courses. There are NO on-line or correspondence
testing programs recognized by the General Educational Development Testing Service (GEDTS) of the American Council of Education (ACE).

Persons can ONLY take the Official GED Test Battery at an approved Iowa GED test center. The only way to receive an Iowa High School
Equivalency Diploma is to successfully pass the Official GED Test Battery by Iowa state standards. The current Iowa state standard is to
achieve a minimum standard score of 410 on each of the five Official GED Test Battery subtests and an overall standard score of 450.

Please contact the Iowa Department of Education at 515.281.3640 for further information.
