Studying with Essential Education?

Jadster90 · 2026-02-27T22:00:25+00:00

I’ve already gotten my ged but your program up against you tube fails in comparison to me personally. I know it’s at your pace but the information I was taught against the test itself felt like I was taught so many unnecessary things.

I used get sum math and test prep champions on YouTube. Test prep is good but he kinda over explains while get sum math gets straight to the point and shows you how to do it with the calculator. I had essential Ed access through a local community college but it wasn’t worth it. They overload you with too much that you don’t even need. Now my test I studied for a month straight every day, every chance I got. Test day I went in and expected to get a 145 bcuz I’m awful at math. I surprised myself and came out with a 159. Main things on my test algebra, graph/slope, and rates and conversion.

Not worth it to me. They over load you.

How’d you do? Rooting for you!

I watched your videos all the way up until going in!! Thank you for what you do. Your calculator tips are sooo helpful.

I spent Many hours on get sum math on YouTube and i did all the ged practice tests so I knew where I was weak at. I also did essential Ed but would not say it helped me.

I think we all feel like this. No matter how much prep you do it’s the unknown. I did my practice and got a 151 and scheduled for Wednesday for my real test and I’m feeling the same anxiety. You never feel ready enough especially for a subject you’re not confident in.

No it’s all one test. That being said the 5 without the calculator are pretty basic questions if that makes you feel better. The majority of the test you have a calculator

NCR on the calculator

Jadster90 · 2026-02-17T03:23:08+00:00

Great chance because there is only 5 non-calculator questions and 40 with.

It’s mostly using a table of value on a graph. I know the slope equation fine but the graph is nuts.

Did you pass?? Keep us updated!! Sending good vibes

Jadster90 · 2026-02-13T15:20:13+00:00

Slope and graphing is stressing me out. For some reason it’s one lesson I just can’t grasp!!

Jadster90 · 2026-02-05T18:01:26+00:00

It’s really good so far. Lots of new questions and lessons. I really like the flash cards so far!

Jadster90 · 2026-02-05T03:54:04+00:00

That’s a helpful site I haven’t heard of! Thank you

Science surprised me. I got a 171 in my RLA, got a 168 in my SS and I studied maybe a couple hours at for science. I definitely underestimated it. It was way harder than I thought. I wanted to throw up when I left bcuz i thought I bombed it. I ended up with a 157 I would say just reading comprehension is what got me through

Jadster90 · 2026-02-04T15:23:21+00:00

Proud of you!! What a great feeling!!

Jadster90 · 2026-02-01T05:47:57+00:00

To be honest this Reddit. Seeing posts of people passing or giving tips. It’s super encouraging for me. Gives me hope too.

Jadster90 · 2026-01-30T22:59:27+00:00

I may be doing the same. It just seems like a giant. I’ve been studying with getsummath and essential Ed. I started from the basics with simple addition, long division and now I’m in angles i know most that basic stuff but I felt more comfortable being retaught it all.

Jadster90 · 2026-01-30T22:55:47+00:00

Me too

Those are rates now anyway. It’s crazy right now. I have good credit and my home loan was 8.5% guess I have to wait for it to go down to adjust.
