Special Editions of the Tests

Special editions of the U.S. English-language GED Tests are available in large print, audiocassette, and Braille formats. Special editions of the Canadian English-language GED Tests are available in large print and audiocassette versions. The content and level of difficulty of the special editions conform to that of the regular print editions. Some questions, when they incorporate complex visual data, may be altered or replaced during transcription.

A regular print reference copy accompanies each Braille battery, and a large print reference manual accompanies each audiocassette. These reference copies can be used during the examination to clarify any words or terms not clearly understood from the Braille type or the tapes. Sighted candidates who use the audiocassette may use the large print reference manual to supplement the tape.

Any candidate may take the large print edition of the GED Tests under regular time limits and standard conditions upon request and without submitting a request for accommodations. Modifications to the testing environment are considered on a case-by-case basis for adults with documented disabilities. For more information about special editions and accommodations for adults with physical and learning disabilities, contact the GED Testing Service.
