I am an adult education teacher, and I have seen the number of my students able to successfully complete their high school equivalency tests plummet in the past year. Many of the students become frustrated because of the level of difficulty of the GED test and drop out of my program. Some older adult students do not have the skills to pass the test on the computer, and the GED test is only administered online. If my students are trying to achieve their high school equivalency diploma to advance at work or simply to get a job, then why have such high academic levels needed to pass the GED test? I feel that other test options are needed.
