You’ll
see three types of questions on the GED. Most questions are multiple choice,
which means you’ll be able to pick one answer from a list of possible answers.
This gives you test-taking advantages. You only have to recognize the correct
answer, instead of calling it up from memory. You can eliminate incorrect
answers. And, you can guess. On the GED, you don’t lose any points for marking
an incorrect answer, so you should answer every question, even if you have to
guess. But multiple-choice questions aren’t the only ones on the GED. In
addition, the GED has:
Short-answer
questions (in math) The GED math test has questions where you need
to calculate an answer, but there are some clues... the answer will either be
one point on a graph or a 5-digit or shorter number.
Essay
question (in writing) The GED essay is a short (4–6 paragraph) essay
that requires you to be able to organize and communicate your thoughts about a
topic, with a main idea, a beginning, middle, and end.
The
GED exam includes questions about a lot of topics, like U.S. history and life
science and sentence structure. But that’s not the only way the questions are
divided up. The questions on the GED exam are carefully chosen to include:
- Questions that include pictures, charts, and graphs, as well as text to read
- Questions that test thinking skills including knowledge, comprehension, analysis, application, synthesis, and evaluation
- Questions about important concepts behind the subject areas, such as technology questions in the science test
The
best way to prepare for the GED test experience is by taking practice tests,
which recreate the experience of taking a GED test. But you don’t need to jump
into a full, timed practice test right away. Working up to a practice test
gives you more familiarity to build on.
Start
by walking through several practice questions to get familiar with what the
test questions are like. Why are the questions structured the way they are?
What are the questions asking you to do?
Take
an untimed practice test. Take as long as you need to. Familiarize yourself
with the test format and structure. Practice the whole test, including the
essay.
Use
your practice test results to study. Time yourself for practice questions while
you study, and try to work your time down to about 1 minute, 15 seconds to
answer a question.
Before
you take the GED, take a timed practice test. Taking practice tests will
improve your score on the GED, even if you already know you’re ready to pass.
It’s a simple step that can have great benefits.
