SANTA FE, N.M., June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Beginning July 1, New Mexico adult learners will see a one-third drop in fees to take the GED test.

Students will continue to have the flexibility to pay for one test at a time, and they'll continue to receive two free retakes.

First-time test-takers in New Mexico may also take advantage of a national program that gives a $10 discount off of their first test subject. The national program runs through July 31, and all students have to do is enter the promo code GETSTARTED10 when they schedule their first test on GED.com.

About the GED^® Test: The GED test has opened doors for over 19 million adults. The current GED test measures high school equivalency – which leads to a New Mexico High School Diploma – as well as an optional college-ready indicator called GED with Honors. The GED test remains the best measure of high school equivalency, based on the performance of graduating high school seniors in 2013.
