It's a Yank thing - General Education Diploma. It's equivalent to a High School diploma for those who for whatever reason, didn't obtain one.

Not to nit pick, but it stands for, General Educational Development.

That's the name of the test. The diploma you earn is a General Education Diploma.

At least, that's what they called it back in my school years.

Either way, I imagine the bloke understands now.

4. Science: 550
5. Mathematics: 450

Average Score: 542

For those who don't know, here's how it works: There are 800 points possible you can score; in order to pass each test, you must get at least a 410. However, in order to get your GED, you must have an average of at least 450 across all tests.

CONGRATULATIONS!
I (for personal myriad of personal reasons) left school my senior year. I had one semester left and one senior English credit to earn my highschool diploma. I earned my GED the same year. So I realize what a big deal it is. Some folks leave school and never look back. So well done!
