The science, social studies, and reading sections expect you to be able to read a passage, understand it, and use critical thinking to analyze, interpret, and apply it. These basic thinking skills are easy to learn, and you may already know a lot of what you need.

The writing section has a multiple choice test on grammar, punctuation, and organization, and an essay… learning to write a GED essay can really help your score, and the most important thing is learning what the GED readers expect from your essay. This is a skill you can quickly improve, too.

The math test is most difficult for most people, but you can improve your score by studying basic math, how to do word problems, and how to estimate and do math in your head. This will make it much easier to learn a little algebra and geometry to pass the test.

That’s some basics… but be sure to go to http://www.passGED.com... there are a lot of resources there, including more blogs on the GED and a free GED newsletter.
