German translation:In den USA als "Realschulabschluss" verwendet.
Explanation:
Bei der Verwendung des "GED" bitte Vorsicht walten lassen. Es mag sein, dass der Oxford Duden dies als eine Art von Lehrbefähigung für Großbritannien ausgibt. Hier in den USA ist das "GED" lediglich der Nachweis (und somit der bestandenen Prüfung)einer zehnklassigen Schulausbildung und wäre somit der Realschulabschluss.

Explanation:
GED = 1. general education development. 2. general equivalency diploma

GED is an alternative to a high school diploma. It's not obligatory to take any courses, just to pass an exam. Althought the GED test is usually taken by adults wishing to finish their education, sometimes is also taken by high school students who want to finish their studies earlier since it is accepted by most colleges.
