My understanding of the new GED 2014 series test is………

That the test names have been slightly changed.  They are:

Reasoning through Language Arts

Science

Mathematical Reasoning

New GEDcbt Test Pricing

To my knowledge, pricing for the new GEDcbt has not yet been determined.... but there continues a lot of discussion and concern among interested parties.

Currently, pricing for current paper-bassed GED tests can vary from state to state.  That will continue when the computer based testing comes to fruition. 

My biggest concern is for the individual who needs to get their GED for a job..... but does not have the money or the computer skills to do so.

Thoughts?

The New GEDcbt- Four Tests rather than Five

From what I am hearing the new GEDcbt Test will have four tests...rather than five.  There will be a Math, Science, and Social Studies test.  Reading and Writing will be combined into one test.

Another thing that I recently heard was that the Social Studies test will have a written response.  Reading and Writing will be combined into one test that would also have a written response.

The tests will be computer based.  Paper tests will be available... but only for individuals with special accommodations.

I hope to answer a few of those questions in this blog.
