When and why did GED® testing begin?

At the request of the military, the GED Tests were first developed in 1942 to help returning World War II veterans finish their high school studies and reenter civilian life. The GED Tests first became available to civilians in 1947 when the state of New York implemented a program to award its high school diploma to those who passed.
