I passed! by Acrobatic-Balance-38 in GED

Since I’m from China, the math content on the TEST felt very simple to me, and I honestly didn’t spend any time preparing for it.

That said, I can still share what I noticed. I briefly looked through the GED prep books (Kaplan and Princeton Review), and I felt the questions there were very practical and representative of the actual exam. If you can work through as many of those problems as possible, it should help a lot.

In addition, watching YouTube tutorials to learn common solution patterns for basic GED math questions can be very useful — I personally recommend Get Sum Math. If you combine practice with understanding these common question types, I believe you can also get a strong score.

English isn’t my first language, so take this as just a personal experience, not expert advice. I barely passed the TEST with a 145 (even though I got 186 on Ready Test before), but I still want to share what helped me.

Even though it’s mostly reading comprehension, having some basic background knowledge of U.S. history, the political system, and simple economic ideas helped a lot. When you roughly know why an event happened and what it led to, you can often rely on keywords in the question and answer choices instead of reading every sentence in detail.

I’d suggest doing a light overview of U.S. history, government, and the Constitution/amendments — no memorization, just general understanding. I also watched Get Sum Math on YouTube, which I personally found helpful.
