GED test to get makeover in 2014; importance still remains

Cinda Huber still regrets her decision five years ago to drop out of high school.

Finding few work opportunities as a nongraduate without a general equivalency diploma, Huber, now 22, moved often and struggled with homelessness before starting a family.
