About the GED Test

The GED (General Educational Development) test is the most widely recognized high school equivalency credential in the U.S., administered by GED Testing Service. It has 4 separate subject tests, roughly 225-250 questions in total across about 7 hours of testing time. Each subject is scored on a 100-200 scale, with 145 as the passing mark per subject.

Why this matters: Civics and government alone makes up half of the Social Studies test, and algebraic problem solving is the majority of Math. Studying all 4 subjects evenly wastes time relative to how the real test is actually weighted.

Why Practice Before the Test

Each of the 4 GED subjects is a separate test with its own pass mark, so a weak subject can't be offset by a strong one elsewhere. Practicing in the same proportions as the real content specifications builds familiarity with exactly where the real test spends its time, not just general subject familiarity.

How to Prepare for the GED Test

About the real test

The GED has 4 separate subject tests, each scored and passed independently: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. A weak subject can't be offset by a strong one elsewhere.

Things that make the biggest difference

Social Studies leans heavily on civics and government

Half the Social Studies test is civics and government, per the official content specs. It's the single highest-leverage area to study in that subject.

Math is majority algebra, not arithmetic

About 55% of Mathematical Reasoning is algebraic problem solving, more than basic quantitative skills. Don't under-practice equations, expressions, and graphing.

Reading passages are mostly informational, not fiction

75% of RLA reading passages are informational (science, social studies, workplace documents), only 25% are literary. Practice accordingly.
