The interviewer asks the respondent or proxy about his/her education completed to date. The respondent is asked to indicate the highest grade level or degree received at the time of the interview. A card with the categories printed on it is provided to the respondent for him/her to indicate one of the applicable categories. Although the question doesn't include the words "to date" after highest level of education completed, it is implied. The respondent may give a questionable response such as "I am almost finished with my GED." In this situation the question should be repeated and the interviewer should ask the respondent the grade he/she completed before he/she returned to classes to complete the GED. The interviewer should read the hand card, if necessary.
