It says that students can take the diagnostic examination offered by PrepWorks1on1, in which Wendy Goldstein of PrepWorks1on1 mentions that they offered free diagnostic test using authentic test materials.

The General Educational Development test, which provides the equivalent of a high school diploma, is being revised to conform with the rigorous new standards proposed by the National Governors Association, along with state school superintendents. New York State and New York City will have to do more to prepare people for an exam that could help them get a leg up in the job market. Far too many of the 50,000 New Yorkers who take the G.E.D. each year do so without preparation.

The rate for Iowa, where students take a diagnostic test and receive remedial help at little or no cost, is 98 percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
