How to Get GED Results
Receiving your GED, or General Educational Development, is the first step towards a better future. Earning a GED increases your job opportunities, as well as your prospects for college. However, you need to see your scores to know whether you passed. You also need a copy of your GED scores in order to show potential employers or colleges that you are qualified. The ACE website, or American Council on Education, can easily send your transcripts to your home, once they are requested.
