Does anybody know how the GED test works? Are there separate tests for each subject? Anybody know where I can download a sample test?
Thanks!!!
d a – i think it may be different for each state. but yes, it is separated by subject. I took it. it took 3 hours a night for three nights in a row till i was finished everything. Don’t bother studying, if you got basic studies in high school, its farely easy and you should be done in no time. Usually i was done one of the firsts, NOT because im so smart. I was not the top of the class at all. It’s just easy. I simply couldn’t believe my ears when the instructor said something about, “if it’s not your first time taking it…”
I don’t know about other states, but in NJ the math is limited to basic algebra and geometry – and they give you the formulas on the actual test! And there is no science, the rest of the test is all reading comprehension. That is, they might ask you to read a paragraph about a scientific topic and then give you a question with a multiple choice, but that’s it; you don’t need to have any prior knowledge.
so really it’s depending on how advanced an education you have from high school. I took it two years ago, straight out of high school, actually , i think i was still in 12th grade. It was easy because everything was still fresh. i didn’t get way above average on everything but i definitely passed without studying. Isn’t that all that matters? so who cares? I’m almost sure it had Algebra 1 and 2 . In my High school we didn’t take algebra 2. i got someone to teach me like 2 concepts that i missed in 3 lessons. (only cuz my parents were really into it , if it was up to me i would’ve taken it without even learning that, i probably would’ve passed anyway.)About the science i really don’t remember. as i said, i think every state is different, (unless im making that up) there are GED books you can take a look at and see if you know what its talking about.
yita – from what your saying i think that it does vary between states. The GED’s i took, sound nothing like yours in NJ.
