In 2014 the GED Testing Service will be unveiling the new GED assessments and GED testing program. As an adult instructor who prepares students to take the GED tests, understanding this new GED test is important. This blog is my attempt to understand what the new GED 2014 test will look like as well as what to expect on each of the GED tests.
