CAEC versus GED
CAEC versus GED
AlphaPlus has compared the CAEC to GED:
The CAEC Reading test is markedly different from GED language arts reading and reflects a societal shift to digitally-mediated reading. All the texts to read are presented in online environments. The CAEC primarily tests the ability to read a variety of informational texts that mimic those an adult may encounter in day-to-day living. The content is engaging, and the tone is friendly. Literary texts make-up only a minority of the test items.
CAEC reading texts
Literary texts (20 to 40 percent) including excerpts from novels, poems, essays, dramas, short stories, etc.
Informational texts (60 to 80 percent) include essays, comics, editorials, news articles, photographs and other visual texts, brochures, maps, tables, graphics, infographics, surveys, advertisements, emails, websites, workplace documents, etc.
GED® Canada language arts reading texts
Literary texts (75 percent) including drama, poetry and prose from British and American writers of the 20th century
Non-fiction texts (25 percent) including prose, critical reviews, articles, and “business-related” documents
