what is ged in education
General Educational Development (GED) tests are a group of four subject tests which, when passed, provide certification that the test taker has United States or Canadian high school-level academic skills. The American Council on Education (ACE), in Washington, D.C. (U.S.), which owns the GED trademark, coined the initialism to identify tests of general equivalency development that measure proficiency in science, mathematics, social studies, reading, and writing.
