Cathy,
Usually when I need information about the GED I look on the GED website. The
GED people have done a lot of reorganization with accommodations for
students with GED in the last year. It is a much better process than it has
been in years.

I found a section on the website that has statistics. You can look it up
yourself. If you want more information, the complete statistics report is
for sale. I did find information there on how many people in each state do
not have a diploma, how many people started the GED testing process, how
many finished testing and how many passed. Nothing about accommodations
though.

Hope this is helpful,

Cathy,

I don't believe this type of data is available without having to contact
each state.  And that may not include information for all the parameters you
are looking for.

Does anyone else know more?
