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.
