GED Writing Test - Scoring - Update 1/27/2012
 
GEDTS has invalidated the NYS Education Department's use of a "200" score for candidates whose Writing Test had a non-passing essay score.  As of Wednesday, November 16, 2011, the standard score for Writing Test cases that had a non-passing essay score is "0".  A hyphen (-) will continue to be used in cases where a candidate did not take a specific section of a test.
 

Guidance for GED Preparation Code Use

NYSED has developed a document entitled, "Guidance for GEDŽ Preparation Code Use for GEDŽ Testing" to address questions about this topic.  Please indicate that this is not new information or policy but a written summary of current procedures.
