A Winning Formula to Pass the GED Math Test

After helping thousands of Adult Learners to pass the GED Test since 2001, I have learned a few core principles for GED success.  One core principle is that targets help you to succeed.  If you go into the test knowing that you do not need to ace the test, just pass the test, you are more likely to be focused and achieve your goal.

(I know the GED offers "college ready" and "honor passing" but this does not matter for many.  If you are applying into an open enrollment environment such as a community college, then who really cares if you career and college ready.)

And, once you get into the job market, most employers won't have any idea what honors passing on the GED Test means anyway!   At best, they might say, "Good for you!"

The video below demonstrates my winning formula for the passing the GED Math Test.  Just pass it!

GED Video of the Week: February 9, 2015

Once again, GED math is the most difficult portion of the GED test. As I work with students locally in the adult school in Napa, California and across America, from Florida to Washington state, everyone is agonizing over algebra. 

Yes, it is true. The GED math test is more than 50% algebra. So, you need to be prepared.  If you have historically struggled with math, you need a program that can prepare you in a realistic amount of time. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can just grind away. The time will escape you before you know it.

The video below can help. It is my GED video of the week for February 9, 2015.

Algebra and the New GED Test - 2014 Version

Math continues to be the number one sticking point for adults hoping to pass the new GED Test.  The fact that the test is now 55% Algebra is all the more daunting for most.  On the previous version, there was Algebra on the test, to be sure.  But, it was only 25% (the average of a 20-30% range) of the test.  You could actually pass the GED Math Test without knowing any Algebra.  The Math passing standard was as low as getting 60% of the test correct.  So, even if you got 25% of the test (Algebra) completely wrong, there was still hope to pass the test.

Enough dwelling on the past.  This is a new year with a new test.  Watch the video below to learn how to attack Linear Equations.

GED Grads need to be the most careful

I came across this article on my Facebook timeline tonight.

http://time.com/money/2891693/dropout-factories-diploma-mills/

People with GED diplomas need to be the most careful about this trend because:

* They tend to be guided towards non-competitive academic schools  (Meaning: just about anyone can enroll)

* Due to real or perceived lack of financial capacity, those with GED Diplomas tend to make decisions based on what will cost them the least amount of money right now 

* These so-called "diploma mills" are well documented to have highly aggressive sales people pushing enrollment decisions, even when the decision does not make sense

In the end, these opportunities become yet another educational disappointment and discourage future attempts.
