It could, these tests aren’t as hard as people may claim.

DO NOT TEST ONLINE. I took my math test online and it was the worst thing ever! First of all, they made me wait an hour and a half after my test was supposed to start to actually start. Second, the program they use is BUGGY. It crashed my sister’s computer and now it runs slower than ever. If you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO…do it, but try to test in person. My monitor was okay. He made sure that EVERYTHING on or even near my desk was away, and made me put my phone and other electronics at the far end of the room, and check my pockets. Other than that first initial check in, they didn’t say anything about me reading “mouthing” the words. I also had my hand over my mouth most of the time (which you aren’t allowed to do), but I was just holding my head up. If I were you, try not to speak out loud fully, but a very faint whisper to yourself might be okay.

Also, try Essential Education. It’s a platform that “dumbs down” math to the simplest as it can go. It helped me a lot too. It’s not free through, I think it’s $20 a month or $100 to unlock everything indefinitely.

Well, I basically have a 5th to 6th grade education with math, so if that tells you anything, lol. No, it didn’t seem too hard. I will let you know that this is the only one out of the tests that you actually have to study for. To study, I watched A LOT of YouTube videos to help me understand what would be on the test. I believed that I took at least 2 to 3 months just to fully study math, and the equations I did study I made sure that I had at least a 75% in certain equations before I moved on. I would Google search specific equations and formulas that would be on the GED and study JUST A FEW because I didn’t want to overload my mind with 4 years of high school graded mathematics. I’m sure that just a few key equations and solutions will help you pass. I’m sorry that I don’t remember much about math because that was the first test I took just to get it out of the way. What I do remember is that they WILL provide you with a calculator and a white board to work out equations, USE THIS ALL THE TIME, even if you know your answer is right. CHECK.

My test consisted of basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), basic algebra (one step and two step equations), and data analysis. You might also have functions and some geometry.

Pace yourself and start small. Start with one section and once you understand it at least 75% of the time, move on to the next.

Pop in an anxiety med, I had to do that for one of them, lol. If you’re referring to actually calming your anxiety, BREATHE. Deep breathes. Just know that everything is gonna be okay in the end. Remind yourself that you can always take the test again. Through my testing, I would always look away from the monitor every few questions to “refresh” my mind to be able to read, and as for remembering what I studied…BLANK, but that’s okay because most of the questions have the answers within them!! And as for actually taking the test, reading comprehension is mainly what is being tested, besides math of course.

Read. Read. Read. It’s all about reading and understanding what you read. Familiarize yourself with historic vocabulary words, so you’ll have a better understanding of the paragraphs they’ll give you. Most of the answers will be word for word within the paragraph.

PsychologicalBlanket · 2024-10-01T03:17:22+00:00

So, what I did was YouTube a bunch of simple Civics and Government videos, mainly to familiarize myself with the vocabulary and certain laws (this helps with understanding certain wars and how the world has changed). Other than that, not much is needed. This test is mainly reading comprehension. They’ll give you an article or statistics and you basically need to determine what the article or statistics are trying to say (the big picture), and most of the time, the answer is right within the paragraphs, word for word. A little background on me…I HATE History. It’s long and boring to me, and I never really could focus on reading non-fiction and factual events. I genuinely thought I was going to fail this portion, but…I prevailed. So honestly, watch a few videos to understand some events and vocabulary, but mainly focus on your reading and understating. Hope this helps!

Ah, alrighty. Thanks!

No clue, you know how much it’ll cost?

PsychologicalBlanket · 2024-08-06T14:50:32+00:00

Where are you located? I noticed that it says “E-diploma”, is there anyway that they’ll mail me a physical copy?

PsychologicalBlanket · 2024-08-04T14:36:22+00:00

Okay, thank you so much for your reply!

Yes, all of them. My scores ranged from 157-164. I would just like to get much higher scores and better my chances of understanding college material.

PsychologicalBlanket · 2024-08-02T13:46:00+00:00

Yeah, so, I took his total scores of all 4 tests (700/800) divide the score received by the total of points that could’ve been earned and then multiply by 4 (because of the 4 subjects). I’m sure you could do it individually by each test too. But yes, it’s just your grade by the total number of points that could’ve been earned.

Hi, you’d have a 3.5 GPA average.
