Understanding GED Basics

 

Review your state's requirements for taking the GED. In most states you must be at least sixteen years of age and not currently enrolled in a high school. The requirements are different for every state.

 

  • Know what the GED entails. The GED tests you knowledge in five subject areas: writing, mathematics, social studies and history, science, and reading.

    • The writing section is composed of two parts.The first section tests your skills in grammar, word usage, spelling and capitalization, and the second section is a written essay in response to a prompt or question.

       

    • The mathematics section covers arithmetic, measurement, basic algebra, geometry, number relations, trigonometry and data analysis of charts and graphs. It is also split into two parts.

       

    • The social studies portion includes geography, civics and government and economics.

       

    • The science section tests life science, physical science and earth science.

       

    • The reading portion tests sentence structure, reading comprehension and language usage.

 

  • Know how long you have to take each subject test. The GED is taken over the course of 7 hours and 45 minutes. Depending on which testing center you choose, you may be able to divide the test into parts taken on separate days, rather than sitting for the entire test at once.

    • The first writing section contains 50 questions to be answered in 80 minutes, and the second writing section gives 45 minutes to plan, write and edit an essay.

       

    • Each mathematics section contains 50 questions to be answered in 90 minutes.
