Katrina --

The publisher is Steck-Vaughn.  You can check their Adult Education
catalog
or go to www.steck-vaughn.com.  They came out with PD and PE forms. 
There
are also Spanish and French versions now available -- if you provide
access
to those tests -- as well as audio and large print editions.

They have also published an interesting official practice test, which
they
call "Form PA ESL: Reading Comprehension."  We purchased this and plan
to
use it in for transitional ESL learners -- ie, transitioning from our
ESL
program into our ABE/ASE program -- who have identified the English GED
as a
goal.  By "use", I mean try it out to see if it actually gives us any
valuable information for either instruction or test-readiness.  When I
called the publisher about the test, I couldn't find anyone there who
could
give me information about it, either about its development or its
response
from users.  I wonder if anyone else is using this test, and what their
assessment of it is so far.
