Take online GED practice tests at online preparation websites. These tests can help sharpen your skills in actual test areas. Take these tests repeatedly regardless if you do well the first time or not. The GED test is divided into five sections, including a two-part Writing Skills section, divided into 75 and 45 minutes, respectively; a Social Studies section lasting 70 minutes; a Science section lasting 80 minutes; a Literature and Arts section lasting 65 minutes; and a Mathematics section rounding out at 90 minutes. Most questions are multiple-choice, with essay questions and math grid-ins included.
Find an adult education resource center near you. These centers typically have staff members who can help you prepare for the exam, determine areas where you need assistance and whether you should come to their classes or study at home.
Form a study group with friends taking the test and quiz each other. Study groups are useful because they help provide you with motivation, group members who actively listen to and discuss GED test information, and can help you understand test material you may have a hard time figuring out.
Make a study schedule and stick to it until the exam day comes. Use flashcards to help you understand math problems.
