Among the people who pass the GED are those who completed the fifth grade or less. My graduate, Fidel Cabrera, only completed the second grade in El Salvador and GED teachers all over the country know they have had students who were in the same category. Many of these adults do not have the confidence, but they make up for it with knowledge that is more than sufficient to do well on the GED.

The percentage of people who pass the GED who had less than sixth grade is low. That is expected in a large group of people. In 2003 only 0.5 percent of passers had less than sixth grade attainment. People in this category passed in forty-six states and the national average was 0.4 or less than one for every hundred people, but the statistics are more revealing than that. Vermont was more than five times higher than the national average at 2.2. New York was under the national average at 0.3. The percentage was slightly higher for people who finished the sixth grade at 0.5.

Here is something interesting about the statistics for passers of the Canadian exam. The national average there was 2.9 percent for people who completed less than the sixth grade and British Columbia had a rate of 8.1. The statistics for British Columbia and Vermont show us that people with less than sixth grade are clearly underrepresented in other states among the graduates of the GED.

Based on all of these statistics, I must conclude that there are hundreds more people in each state who have not passed the GED but who either have the knowledge to pass or can acquire the knowledge to pass with some study or by completing a GED course or by studying many of the chapters in the GED book.
