The new GED program, which will launch on January 2, 2014, was overhauled to better prepare adults without a high school diploma for higher education and the workforce.

Some of the new features students can use on the new GED.com website include:

• A one-stop resource for registration, preparation, and more.
• Tools to develop personalized study plans and find study materials or in-person classes.
• A skills assessment to help test-takers match skills with possible careers, and focus on career plans to get to better jobs with better wages.
• Access to information and resources to help test-takers apply for college or training programs and fill out financial aid forms.
• An official practice test that shows test-takers their strengths and where they need to improve, including specific pages to study in their training materials at home and online.
