Contact your state department of education and ask where you can take adult education classes. These classes are often held at community colleges and other adult education centers. Teachers in these classes will help you prepare to pass the GED test.
Practice by taking sample tests and identifying your areas of weakness. The American Council on Education, which administers the GED, offers sample questions.
Spend extra time studying in your areas of weakness. If you need to work on reading skills, try reading the newspaper every day. If math isn't your strong suit, ask your adult education teacher for practice problems.
Sign up to take the test through your local testing center. Fees may apply, depending upon your state. If you're not sure where you can take the test, ask your adult education teacher or your state's department of education.
Pass the test's five topic areas. If you don't pass all the sections the first time, you can repeat only those parts that you failed.
