How to Study for a Pre GED Test

• Answer:

  A pre-General Education Development test is a practice examination that includes multiple-choice questions similar to those on the actual exam and a section for participants to write short-form, original responses to language arts questions. The GED exams test participants on math, reading, writing, social studies and science skills. A GED is the equivalent of a high-school diploma and must be obtained before a person can enter college. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Contact the Department of Education for your state. Ask a representative about pre-GED examination dates and times in the state and any practice tests happening in your community. Ask about locations of testing facilities and state-issued study materials or practice tests they can provide. Contact local community colleges and ask for testing dates as well. Pre-GED exams are often held on community college campuses. Sign up for free GED training courses online. For example, visit the GED For Free website, click "Get Started" on the top home page menu and fill out the personal information request and click "Submit." Respond to emails sent to you by the website and take advantage of free study guides and materials through the website. Complete online self-assessment modules. Visit websites designed to prepare you for taking the pre-GED and GED. Go to the Test Pre-Preview website, for example, to examine self-assessment modules. These modules measure competency and are broken down into subsections of testing, math, for example, focusing on one subject at a time. Taking these short practice assessments help you gauge your academic strengths and weaknesses and where to put your focus as you continue studying for the pre-GED test.
