Hey y’all! So I was supposed to graduate in 2006. I had all my credits but in the lovely state of Texas not only do you have to have all your credits you also have to pass FOUR state test. Reading/writing, History, Science, & Math. I passed all but MATH! So I had to go to school on my last day of being a Senior knowing that I was not going to get to walk across the stage. !! I took my GED after & passed Reading/writing. But now five years later I’m really wanting to take it! It haunts me knowing I don’t have a diploma or GED. I think about it all the time. The main reason I want to get it is because I know it will just make feel so much better about myself! I’ve ALWAYS been horrible in math. So I’ve been reading & reading about different books to help prepare for the GED. I FINALLY found it! It’s like the teacher, the one on one I never had before!! It’s called McGraw’s-Hill’s GED The Most Complete and Reliable Study Program for the GED Tests. It is so AMAZING!! I will admit it is a bit intimidating..it’s like bigger then the bible but it breaks down everything for you! & it’s not a bad price at all. When I saw it I was like omg this book is going to be at least $60-80 but it was only $35.00! The best $35.00 I could have ever spent!! I PROMISE I will let you all know if I pass!! Good Luck y’all!!

Kelsey, with Math, simply “getting” it usually isn’t enough to pass the test. That’s why we offer many different practice questions after we teach the content, so it becomes more like second nature, rather than just comprehension. That’s why math is harder than the other subjects: simply understanding the logic behind it isn’t enough. Find a program that doesn’t just explain the concept to you, but gives you LOTS of practice problems as well.

I have been studying like crazy with my boyfriend.. I seem to get it when we are studying but when I took the official practice test yesterday I only scored a 470! I completly forgot everything we had gone over in the last week. ugh. The lady is going to let me test, but she said I would just be skimming past with a 470..my question is: Is the real test going to be a lot harder than the practice test??? I am so screwed if it is..

Math is the hardest subject for me..I got a 680 on reading, a 570 on science and a 600 on social studies..and then a 470 in math! AFTER studying FOREVER! I dont get it!

I agree with almost everyone on here. I enrolled into this Prep Class in which I attended for 5+ months and took the GED test last week. The math test was very frustrating. Not because it was difficult, but everything I was told to study WAS NOT on the test! And that’s not right! I’ve yet to see my scores but all signs are indicating that I passed after figuring out how they score each battery. Nontheless, I feel that the board of education should lower their standards in regards to the GED if they are testing people on subjects they weren’t told to study.

If you want to pass your GED you must trust in God. I have a learning disability, and just took the GED and passed the 1st time. I thought I failed it but God came through in his might power. Let this be an encouragement to all who feel hopeless. God will set you free.

Oops! I made a mistake on the website I suggested! The website is http://www.passged.com

My son just started it. He has some learning challenges. They start out with having you take an assessment test for each subject. Then the programs adapts to you and presents you with online lessons to teach you your deficits. My son has about 90 lessons to go through. I can’t imagine him using a book for this! You can go to the website and get a trial version to check it out.

My son is going to take the GED test in about a year. He is ADHD\ODD. He is not interested in school at all. I did some research and found the GED Academy. It is an online preparation program that includes 600 lessons, practice tests and access to their tutors. I think it is $200.00 to join. I talked extensively to the company about their success rate. They are saying that most people who use their service pass. I looked into it because I didn’t think my son would do well studying the book. Also, how would he brush up on things he is weak at…which for my son is English and Writing. Anyways, I am going to start him on this program starting in September. The website is http://www.gedacademy.org. Call the company and talk to them about your situation and see how they can help. Hope this helps.
