How to Pass a GED Practice Math Test

American Council of Education (ACE) administers the General Educational Development test, also known as the GED. In order to be eligible for the test, examinees must be 16 years or older and not a high school graduate. Candidates take and pass the paper-delivered tests in several subjects to earn a high-school-equivalent diploma. You can improve your GED math scores by solving practice tests. It's a great way to recognize your strengths and focus on the areas that need improvement.

      Learn to use the Casio fx-260 calculator. As of late 2010, ACE allows examinees to only use the Casio fx-260 calculator to compute answers. It is a scientific calculator much advanced than the basic ones, and includes built-in math functions related to trigonometry, fractions and statistics, among several others.
