understand correctly, the GED has now been replaced by the HiSET. Consequently,
ETS developed new Braille materials to reflect this newly-named exam. It took a
while, but I believe all materials have been developed and made available.
Navigating ETS’s bureaucracy is sometimes a formidable task, but one that needs
doing in order to secure the materials. I’m not sure if there have been any
additional commercially-produced HiSET materials.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

have a Braille copy of GED Basics 2002. It was decided to discard it due to
being a bit outdated. We still have CD and cassette copies of this book. Are
there any updated accessible GED resources for preparation and/or study? We have
numerous adult students who do not have their high school diploma. We are trying
to find accessible ways for them to study for and take the GED test. The Hadley
high school program option has worked for a limited number of our students. Any
ideas, tips, and resources would be appreciated.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
