GED Math Question S. Sain-Mellner

Here’s a good question ’bout the GED math test… everyone wants to know how to pass. That be the bottom line…

Out of what 50 questions on the math test how many should i get right just to be safe in order yo pass? Also what sections should i study on the most?

Sincerely,

The GED don’t really go by how many questions you get right. They see how good you do against all the other people takin’ the test. So, it all depends on the version of the test you get. Stinks, right?

To really know you gonna pass, though, try to get 35 out of 50 right. But you may be okay with less, depends on how good you do on the other tests and how hard the test is. To be sure, go for the 35 right…

Now, what to study most? Best thing to study is basic math. Practice doin’ word problems, and doin’ math in you head. The reason is, this is gonna help you on all the math questions. The harder stuff’ll help you with one or two questions, but practicin’ word problems and doin’ math faster in your head (mental math) is gonna help the most with all the questions. Here’s some places to go for word problems:
