What GED classes do I need to take?

The GED (General Educational Development) test covers five subject areas. You don't take classes titled "GED Math" etc. Instead, you'll find classes that cover the content within each subject area needed to pass the GED test. These classes may have different names depending on the provider. However, you'll need to cover the following subjects:

* Reasoning through Language Arts: This covers reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. Expect classes focusing on analyzing texts, constructing essays, and understanding sentence structure.

* Mathematics: This involves both basic arithmetic and more advanced algebra and geometry concepts. Classes will cover problem-solving, data analysis, and applying mathematical principles.

* Science: This generally encompasses life science, physical science, and earth science. Expect classes to cover scientific reasoning, data interpretation, and understanding scientific concepts.

* Social Studies: This usually includes US history, civics, economics, and geography. Classes will cover historical events, government systems, economic principles, and geographical concepts.

To find the specific classes you need, check with your local adult education center, community college, or online GED preparation programs. They will likely offer courses structured to cover the content of the GED test and will likely offer diagnostic testing to pinpoint areas where you need the most help. Some offer combined classes covering multiple areas or may break things down even further into modules.
