Look up GED testing sites and dates in your area. Decide exactly which day and time you will be taking your test and register for it. Committing to a date and time early in the study process will help motivate you to get to work and focus your efforts towards your specific goal.
Sit down with a notebook and a pen or pencil and outline your study plan. Decide whether you will register for a preparation class in your area or study on your own. Write down how much time you have to study and divide your time between the five GED subjects.
Purchase GED review books online or at your local bookstore. The book you choose should contain a thorough review of the content tested on the GED, as well as in-text exercises and at least one or two full-length practice GED tests.
Choose a quiet place, such as your local library, where you will be able to put in several hours every week studying. This is important whether or not you will be taking a prep class.
