Good luck. This is the URL to find statistics about the GED test. Who
took
it and how many passed.

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.

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?
