The GED, or General Education Development Test is a test that certifies the taker has attained US high-school level academic skills. It is taken by individuals who, for whatever reason (immigration, dropping out) did not earn a high school diploma.
People who left high-school without graduating often find that that employers and post-secondary institutions will not accept them. Since adults typically cannot or will not return to high school, the GED allows them to demonstrate the skills they would have learned in high school. The test consists of questions in mathematics, English, social studies and science that are meant to test the basic knowledge of the test taker. To pass the GED, the test taker must perform in the 40th percentile of high school seniors nationwide. For most purposes, a GED is the same as a high school diploma. However, it is often thought that the test is far easier than it should be, and it is often looked down upon by employers as a lower form of degree than an actual high school diploma.
