Students working toward their GED have one year to finish the test before the current version expires.
The current version of the GED test, known as the 2002 Series GED test, will expire at the end of 2013 and will be replaced with
the new 2014 GED test on January 2, 2014.
Those who have taken the 2002 Series GED test, but not passed all five parts, have until the end of 2013 to pass or they will need to start over again in 2014 with the new GED test in order to receive their high school credentials.
“The GED test opens doors to college, better jobs, the respect adults deserve, and the satisfaction of earning a high school credential,” said Ryann Huddleston, Testing Coordinator of Hanford Adult
School. “So we want to be sure that everyone is aware of this deadline. GED test-takers must act now to
finish and pass before the current test expires.”

succeed!”
