Advisory against Misleading GED Claims
Please be advised that the GEDŽ Certificate can be neither earned nor
obtained via the Internet or through correspondence programs. The Tests of
General Educational Development (GED Tests)--developed by the General
Educational Development Testing Service of the American Council on
Education (GED Testing Service) require extensive preparation and the
demonstration of a high level of high school knowledge and academic
skills. The GED Tests are administered in Texas only at Official GED
Testing Centers under the direction of the Texas Education Agency (TEA)
GED Unit. Any other high school equivalency certificates not issued by TEA

and may not be accepted by employers, colleges and universities, or the
military.
