Prepare for GED Test Series

Prepare for GED Test Series

Lacking a high school diploma no longer has to hold you back in your career aspirations. If you're comfortable reading a high school textbook, doing basic math operations without a calculator, and writing a short letter in English, then you're ready to take the GED® test. More than 300,000 Americans take the GED® test annually and those who pass gain the skills and knowledge equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma.

Preparing for the GED® is key to passing the test, and an online course helps you prepare on your own time. The Prepare for GED Test Series will help you analyze your strengths and weaknesses, so you can focus your studying on the areas you need the most. You will learn about the four GED® test modules, with an additional focus on the skills needed to pass the Mathematical Reasoning module.

Prepare for the GED® test and master the skills required to pass the Mathematical Reasoning module. You will start off with a reviewing the four modules and then dive into math basics to build the foundation you need to solve math problems. In the process, you will develop hands-on experience with percentages, proportions, statistics, algebra, geometry, and more.

In each lesson, you will apply your knowledge to practice questions similar to those used in the test series. You will know how, when, and why to use each math concept you learn. By the time you finish this course, you will be confident with your math skills and about taking the test.

Some GED® Testing Centers require proof that you have passed a GED® test preparation course or the official practice tests before you can take the official GED® tests. Before enrolling in this course, please check with the official GED® Testing Center where you intend to take your tests to make sure that this course will meet their requirements. Not all states use the GED® test as their test for high school equivalency diploma. As of May 4th, 2024, the GED® Program is no longer active in Canada. Canadian students should contact their province to learn about their testing options.
