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!





As always, you have to practice.  Below is a practice test that will help you.  Sign up for a free account and then take the practice test.  You will receive your scores at the end.

GED Video of the Week: February 23, 2015


I was stunned to read a tweet about the drastic drop in successful GED candidates in 2014.  The number I read was 85,000.  85,000.  85,000?
That was down from 475,000 successful GED candidates in the year before, 2013.  Well, there is not time to bemoan statistics.  I want to get down to work with people who are ready to get serious about preparing for this test and then passing this test.

I spend so much time talking about math - because it is needed - but I want to shift gears to writing.  There are three separate writing assignments on the GED Test.  
  • The Extended Response section of the RLA
  • The response to the prompt on the Social Studies Test
  • The Short Answer response on the Science Test
This week's video talks about the Extended Response section of the RLA.

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.
