11 Assessment Guide for Educators: RLA Chapter 1: Assessment Targets Language Conventions and Usage on the GED® RLA T est The language component of the GED® RLA test measures a candidate’s ability to demonstrate command of a foundational set of conventions of standard English that have been identified as most important for career and college readiness by higher education instructors of post-secondary entry-level, credit-bearing composition courses.This core set of skills includes essential components of grammar, usage, capitalization, and punctuation. The GED® RLA test assesses these skills in an authentic context. Test-takers are asked to edit phrases or sentences to demonstrate their knowledge of this core set of skills. In these “editing” items, highlighted words or phrases appear in dropdown menus offering alternatives, which will include a clear best choice alongside common errors or misconceptions.
