Free GED Mini Class Every Week! Stay in the Fight to Get Your GED!
After opening the year 2015 with my 1 Week GED Challenge, I quickly figured out how difficult it was to have 50+ conversations each week. I wanted to figure out a way to help keep my website visitors, You Tube subscribers and blog readers in the fight to get their GED but the 1 Week GED Challenge was not the best way. I was burnt out by mid-February!
You see, I have been teaching GED Prep since 2001 and my greatest disappointment is seeing so many begin working towards the GED Test and then drop out of the fight.
I see this online all the time. To a certain extent, it makes sense online. People can just surf the Internet, call me, send me an email or a text but a lot of the time it is just talk and blowing off steam. When people figure out that it requires investment, they disappear like a puff of smoke.
In the classroom, it is more difficult to understand. It is so hard to see people come to a free class, with more GED resources than the students can actually use and still see students walk away. I realize life brings challenges but that doesn't take away the disappointment!
As a way to continue to help subscribers to this blog, my website visitors and subscribers to my You Tube channel (MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: ILANOMADVIDEO) to stay in the fight, I will be teaching a mini lesson each week.
This is not a substitute for getting my program or finding some other real program that works for you, but instead, it is a extension of the GED Challenge.
My thought is that if I can keep you interested and in the fight to get your GED, eventually you will make the decision(s) you need to make and pass the test.
The video below talks about the mini class and includes a mini lesson.
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.

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!

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.
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.

GED Resources and the need to recognize the humanity of adult learners
Nationally, some 39 Million US adults lack a High School diploma (click here to see report).
As a teacher, this is hard to get my hands around because there is a ton of GED resources out here and most of it is free. Just think about it:
Now, consider that an estimated 1.2 million students drop out from High School in the US each year.
The image that comes to mind is a battlefield. As a GED Teacher, I see myself as part of this humongous powerful army, complete with weaponry of all kinds. I see the opposition as a small, guerilla type outfit. We, the large army, control the battlefield and terms of the warfare (i.e. the resources, the rules, the schools, the texts, even the test itself ) but the small guerilla oufit (i.e. real life, people's real needs, what it's actually like being an adult student) keeps the war steadily unstoppable and steadily unable to be won.
Coming out of my battlefield daydream - I go back to November of 2001. I assigned an essay to my class in preparation for the GED Essay section. A student wrote about a time in their life when they were violated. For this student, the GED would allow them to move to Texas, get a cosmetology license and open a hair salon with a cousin. Then, they would be able to put their past behind them.
A little chocked up, it was hard to tell this student about subject-verb agreement or that they forgot to add a conclusion at the end of the essay. It didn't feel right to tell them about websites or free tools to really get their writing solid, at least not right then.
I just needed to recognize their humanity. This student had been hurt and needed just one more person to know about and see it. I did.
As a teacher, this is hard to get my hands around because there is a ton of GED resources out here and most of it is free. Just think about it:
- literally millions of web pages offering GED help online
- probably hundreds of test prep books, DVDs, and software series
- there are over 14,000 School Districts in the US offering some type of GED class
- 9,000 Public Libraries offering some type of literacy/diploma help
Now, consider that an estimated 1.2 million students drop out from High School in the US each year.
