Free GED Video on Teaching Adult Learners and Students to be Fluent in the GED

One of the most important things we can do to prepare Adult Learners to pass the GED Test is to help them become fluent in the GED Test.  Now, I need to make a distinction between knowing the basics about the test and fluency.  Knowing the basics means that the learner or student knows about GED.com, how to sign-up, that the test is only given on computer unless you have an approved accommodation or your state offers alternative to the GED Test, that the test is now four tests instead of five and that you need to score 150 on each test to pass and 170 is considered honors passing.

When I say fluency, I am talking about the goals and purpose of the test, the language of the test and the flow of the test.

The new 2014 GED Test is hard!

Leading Adult Learners to pass the new GED test requires an entirely different approach than it did in 2013.

It was easier before. To be honest, students came with more of the skills that were necessary to pass. In 2014, you really have to have the chops to lift someone's skill in a relatively short period of time - to a much higher level. 

We are talking about analyzing two articles and then writing an essay about them. We are talking about Algebra: linear equations and quadratic equations. 

We are not talking about John buying a sweater for $39.95 and the sales tax is 7.5% and being asked to find out the total cost of the sale!

It is really important to teach conceptual skills. This is how I am having success preparing adult students in 2014.
