How to pass the math and English on the GED Test?

I want to take the GED test, but im horrible at math.?

  • and when i say horrible..i mean HORRIBLE. ive never gotten it, and i can barely multiply. i dropped out of high school when i became pregnant. math has always been my downfall. im very smart at other subjects, but i just never got math. im 21 years old about to be 22 and i want to get my GED but im afraid if i dont pass the math that i wont pass the GED. how does the GED work? will i fail the whole thing if i score poorly on the math portion?

  • Answer:

    Here's what kind of math the GED will cover. http://www.gedsource.com/blog/2005/11/whats-in-ged-math-test.html You'll need to know algebra and geometry as well as how to apply basic math to everyday situations (percentages off of purchases, calculating tips, figuring out interest rates) and how to interpret graphs. To pass the GED, you must score at least 410 on each of the five sections, and also have a total score of 2250 or higher (average of 450 on each test). If you fail one section (score below 410) then you have failed the entire test, but you don't have to retake the whole thing, just whatever sections you want to retake.

No one is actually "bad" at math. The school system's lack of a proper repetition system is the root cause of math anxiety for a lot of people. Math is cumulative and requires a properly maintained repetition system to build off of. A spaced repetition system is the most effective way to deal with the forgetting curve in math. The people who are "good" at math just have more repetition of math. Their extra repetition compensates for the lack of a proper repetition system. google: "Algebra Acrostic Dictionary for Spaced Repetition Systems" google: "Geometry Acrostic Dictionary for Spaced Repetition Systems" google: Memory and Learning: Myths and Facts wikipedia: forgetting curve, Active recall, Anki, Spaced repetition, Spacing effect
