Hi, all GED writers! I thought I’d go back to the GED writing multiple choice test, to go over some of the other common things on there. The GED writing test is different from the other tests, because it’s got two parts that are so completely different! The GED essay is one part, and of course, it’s different because you show your writing skills by writing an essay, something that you don’t have to do anywhere else on the test. The multiple choice test is the other part… it’s more like the rest of the exam, where you need to choose the right answer. But there are definitely a few skills to learn to do well!

Hi, everyone! One thing I haven’t really talked about a lot is the GED multiple-choice writing test. To me, the GED essay is more important…it’s easier to learn to write a better essay than to learn all the little grammar on the GED writing multiple-choice test. But all the stuff on the GED writing test also helps you write better…clearer…and getting a higher score is always better! Read the rest of this entry »

Okay! I’m on the final step of revising my practice GED essay. That’s the conclusion. I think a good conclusion is really important on the GED. The GED readers look for organization, and a good conclusion shows good organization. The GED readers are also people…and people like a good conclusion.

Last time, I finished a draft of a GED essay, and I know a lot of people want to stop after they wrote their draft for the GED. It’s hard to write, after all, and maybe you just want to be done with it! I know I feel that way sometimes. But going back and reading over your writing, and making changes, can make it so much better. So, I’m going to talk about editing my GED essay. Read the rest of this entry »

Happy New Year everyone! The old year is ending, and the new one’s coming up, with lots of possibilities for the future, right? Like passing the GED test! I guess we’re talking about endings and beginnings for the GED essay, too. I’ve been working on this GED essay practice question, and last time I drafted the middle of a GED essay question. Now it’s time to draft the conclusion… then a whole new step begins. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m still working on that GED essay to prepare for the test. Last time, I showed you how I drafted the first paragraph of a GED practice essay. Doing the first paragraph takes a little extra time, I think, because you want to make a good impression on the GED test readers. The middle is easier for me. So, here’s how I drafted the middle of the GED writing essay: Read the rest of this entry »

Last time, I showed how I drafted a GED essay for the test. Now, I’m going to show you how I went about drafting. Read the rest of this entry »

I thought I’d take a practice question and show you how I try to prewrite about it… so here’s the question!

Sometimes, we don’t know in advance how we’ll react to a new situation.
