To ensure the GED® continues to measure the content and skills included in the current high school curriculum, the GED® test undergoes regular review and revision. The most recent version of the test was launched in January 2014 in America, and then in 2016 in South Africa, replacing the 2002 curriculum.
Examinations for the 2002 curriculum will no longer be available after 30 April 2017.
The 2014 GED® is made up of four subjects and examinations for the new GED® will be available from 1 May 2017.
