One thing that you’re sure to come across on the GED reading test is something called “tone.” So, what is tone? I think of it like ‘tone of voice.’ Sometimes I find myself saying to my little boy, “Don’t take that tone with me!” And I mean something pretty much like the “tone” they’re talking [...]

Hola! The GED reading test has different kinds of thinking questions, and they ask you to do different things. One kind of question is called a synthesis question. Synthesis questions ask you to take two kinds of information and put them together… you compare them, or make conclusions based on both of them, or get [...]

Hola, again! Back for more GED reading? I got a good GED practice question, from a book by John Steinbeck. I like this book. It’s short, easy to read, and it’s set in Mexico, which makes me relate to it more. So I thought I’d do a practice question from it.

Hola! Last time I talked about characters on the GED, and I think it’s pretty important, so I thought, I’ll do another GED practice question about characters. It’s from the same reading as last time, so now you know a bit about it, right? It’s part of a play called “A Doll’s House” by Henrik [...]

Here’s one of the really important things on the GED test! This isn’t just in the GED reading test, but it’s in the science test and especially the social science test. That’s understanding someone’s “point of view.” What I mean is, understanding where someone’s coming from, what they’re trying to say. Do you remember talking [...]

I’ve got another GED reading practice question from the Study Guide Zone, along with how I thought through the answer…because I think what really helps get you ready for your GED is understanding how to think through the answers to GED questions. 

You know, one thing about the GED reading test that you need to know is literature terms. If you come across a term you don’t know, you can still try to figure out the question, but it really helps to know the terms! This GED reading practice question is more about literature terms than actually [...]
