Extractions: Introduction to General Educational Development (GED) For more than fifty years, the GED Tests have offered personal satisfaction and broadened professional, occupational and educational opportunities for millions of adults, who, for many reasons, were unable to complete their formal high school credential. The GED Tests give adults who did not graduate from high school the opportunity to earn a high school equivalency certificate. Recognized nationwide by employers and educators, the GED certificate has increased education and employment opportunities for millions of adults since 1942. The State of Oregon GED Program adheres to policies of the GED Testing Service as presented in the GED Examiner's Manual. There is, however, some flexibility for states and other testing jurisdictions to have their own policies. The following information concerns the State of Oregon specifically.
