  The General Educational Development (GED) Test provides a valid means of measuring the educational achievement of adults who are non high school graduates and of comparing their academic competence with that of high school graduates. Individuals who successfully complete the test battery will receive an official GED transcript and may qualify for the Hawaii Adult Community School Diploma. The diploma may provide graduates the opportunity to enter the military service, gain college admission, increase income, increase job qualifications, or assist in obtaining work advancement.
