A free GED study guide is available for download in PDF format from the Study Guide Zone (http://www.studyguidezone.com/pdfs/gedteststudyguide.pdf). This 82-page handbook reviews what will be covered on the exam and provides test-taking strategies and tips.
Taking a GED practice test is a great way to gauge your preparedness for the exam. Steck-Vaughn offers a free practice test, divided by subject, on its website (http://steckvaughn.hmhco.com/en/gedpractice.htm). Each question is automatically scored and includes the option for instant feedback, so that you understand the mechanics of the question. Another resource is Test Prep Review's GED Test Online Course (http://www.testprepreview.com/ged_practice.htm). These practice tests can be printed out so that you are not tied to the computer to take them.
Preparing for the GED can be stressful. The experiences of others who are taking or have taken the exam can be of great use and support. The passGED.com forums (http://passged.websitetoolbox.com/) include inspirational stories, articles, test information, and space for general discussion.
If any GED testing website demands personal information or asks you to sign up for a service in exchange for free resources, go elsewhere. In addition, any website that claims to offer the official GED test online is fraudulent. The GED can only be taken in person and at an accredited testing center.
