GED Stories

I’m a very nice and dependable person. I’m the type of person who used to think life was all about having fun until I got older. I regret everything about not listening to my parents but I know it’s not too late. That’s why I’ve been trying so hard.I left school in 87 or 88. I believe I would have graduated in 90. I was terrible back then and real hard headed, thought I already knew everything until I started having kids and then I couldn’t help them with their homework.

I want my GED for a career and besides I feel dumb around people who have theirs.

One thing that could help my dreams come a reality is to pass the GED math. Then I could go back to school for a career in the business or law enforcement.

Denise,

Thanks for sharing your story. A lot of people don’t realize what they’ve missed out on until they have kids of their own. But you’re right, it’s not too late!

The GED math is a stumbling block for a lot of people. It can be the hardest test because you need a different kind of knowledge…and math seems like a foreign language to most people. A lot of the time, you missed out on some important, basic math concepts that you really need to understand the harder stuff. That’s why we always recommend starting with the basics…things like understanding numbers, working with fractions and decimals, and doing word problems. The better you understand the basic parts of math, the better you’ll do on all kinds of math. And the basics aren’t that hard! Learning basic math really well will give you an advantage…first, you’ll be able to do a lot of GED questions easier, and second, you’ll have the background you need to study some of the harder math.

Our math program has four courses, and the first one is all about learning math basics. Then, we give easy-to-understand lessons on statistics, data, algebra, geometry, and measurement. Plus, we give you more practice doing word problems in geometry and measurement. As a course, it gives you complete preparation to pass GED math… but you’ve got to start with the basics…understanding and working with numbers.

There are lots of math programs out there that can help… and math is a subject that you probably need a study program for. Find a program that works for you…something that explains math concepts in a way that you can understand. And you CAN pass your GED math test.
