Read more. A difficult section of the GED for many people is the writing section. Unlike math or reading comprehension, there are no problems you can study and answer. Reading is one of the most effective tools when it comes to better writing. Read books, magazines, newspapers, online content and anything else that contains the written word.
Use each section to your advantage. The GED is broken down into five sections: Language Arts-Writing, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts-Reading, and Mathematics. Language Arts-Writing is one section of multiple choice questions and an essay section. Mathematics is broken down into 25 multiple choice questions with use of a calculator, and 25 questions without use of a calculator. All remaining sections are multiple choice. Immediately discard the multiple choice answers that are obviously wrong, and focus on the remaining possibilities. This increases your chances of answering correctly.
Pay attention when taking the test. Reading directions, problems and passages slowly and thoroughly helps you grasp what is really being read and asked of you.
Review your answers. Often, when people do things for long periods of time, such as taking a test, they write the wrong answer unintentionally or leave words out of a sentence. Making this mistake on a GED can cost you points and ultimately the chance to pass.
