GED Ready® Practice Test
GED Testing Service (GEDTS) responds to why the GED Ready® practice test require adult educators to score the constructed response manually:
“Requiring educators to give students feedback on their constructed responses means educators will take the time to fully understand the new requirements for the constructed responses at a deep level. Understanding the rubrics and process for scoring constructed responses is very important for adult educators — it empowers educators to give valuable feedback to their students and to fine-tune instruction to help students not only pass the GED® test, but prepare them for writing challenges they will face on the job and in postsecondary education” -GEDTS
