The General Educational Development (GED) Test has served as the basis for awarding the State-issued high school equivalency diploma in New Jersey since 1959, but major changes are mandated to take effect as of January 1, 2014. The New Jersey Department of Education has been examining developments in the field of adult education in an effort to expand the assessment options available for a State-issued high school equivalency diploma with the goal of aligning the test(s) to current high school standards.
The new test options will likely be computerized, more difficult and more expensive. In addition, past scores will not transfer to the new test so the initiative to get the GED test passed this year is aimed mainly at people who have taken the test in the past, but have not quite scored enough points to gain the diploma.
The remaining testing dates being offered at the Cape May County Technical School for the current GED test version are:
