"What the scoring standard tells us is that, once one has achieved the GED diploma, there is a guarantee to an employer that the individual can read, write, and do math at a high school level, has demonstrated an ability and willingness to learn, and has proven that he/she will make the necessary sacrifices to finish something started."
