Current version of GED Test to expire at the end of 2013
GED testing centers in TEXAS encourage adults to finish and pass before test deadlines
ODESSA (Sept. 19, 2012) – Today Odessa College GED Testing Center announced that the current version of the GED test expires at the end of 2013. The current version, known as the 2002 Series GED test, will be replaced with the new 2014 GED test on Jan. 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 credential.
“The GED test opens doors to college, better jobs, the respect adults deserve and the satisfaction of earning a high school credential,” said Terri Pease, Odessa College Testing Center director. “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.”
“Support is available, right here in Odessa,” said Selsa Lerma, OC Adult Basic Education director. “We can help adult learners get prepared to take the parts of the GED test they still need to pass. We want you to succeed!”

“To anyone who has already started the GED test, your future is calling. By passing the GED test, you can answer that call,” said Randy Trask, president and CEO of GED Testing Service. “You owe it to yourself. Don’t miss the chance to turn one small step into your next big opportunity in life.”
The GED test has opened doors to better jobs and college programs for more than 18 million graduates since 1942. Last year nearly 800,000 adults sat for the GED test, which is accepted by virtually all U.S. colleges and employers. As the creator of the official GED test, GED Testing Service has a responsibility to ensure that the program continues to be a reliable and valuable pathway to a better life for the millions of adults without a high school credential.
