GED students face test deadline

Officials at Community Colleges of Spokane’s Institute for Extended Learning, which offers GED classes and other adult education programs throughout Eastern Washington, urge GED students, new and old, to complete their GED testing before December, 2013.

A new set of tests is being introduced in January, and all old test scores will expire, according to Kyla Bates, IEL’s chief GED examiner. Students who have partially completed testing will lose those test scores.

The GED test contains five parts that can be taken separately, but must all be passed to receive a high school credential.
