Visit the website of your state's department of education. Many states have online GED preparation programs available. Private GED prep courses are also available online. The GED Testing Service partners with Steck-Vaughn, Kentucky Educational Television (KET) and the Paxen Group to provide at-home preparation services, including an online practice test and a television series for GED preparation on many PBS stations across the country. Costs of different courses vary.
Check out a GED preparation course or book from your local library. Ask your local adult education center for information about home study materials as well. The GED website contains several ways to locate your nearest adult education center.
Read through various course descriptions to find one that meets your needs. Ask the testing service if it has paper-based correspondence options by emailing or calling its customer support line if you have limited computer access or prefer to work with books and paper instead of on a computer.
Study at a regular time each day. Submit any coursework on time, and ask for feedback or for assistance from instructors available to answer your questions. Work through practice GED exams to get a feel for what the actual exam will be like.
