Some tips to help you on the GED.
When taking the test, if you run out of time, and haven't answered all the questions, quickly fill in answers for each question. Don't leave any blank. There are some tests where there is a greater penalty for marking the wrong answer than just leaving it blank. The GED is not one of those tests, so make sure there is an answer to every question even if some of them are guesses.
When taking the test, if you come to a question that you don't understand or are having trouble with, skip it an come back at the end. You don't want to lose your rhythm and become frustrated. Answer the questions you know first, and then go back to the others later. Make sure that when you do this you leave the space empty on the answer sheet. You don't want to get off by one on your answer sheet and then get all the questions from that point forward wrong.
When working on questions with passages to be read, make sure you read through the questions first. That will give you an idea of what you are reading for. Information that is important to the question will begin to stand out to you. Read the complete passage, and then answer the questions.
Make sure that you read every question and each of the answers carefully before you answer the question. Sometimes there may be two answers that are technically correct, but one that is definitely better, so read through all of them. If you are answering a question that relates to a passage, make sure you read the passage. Don't just answer the question based on prior knowledge. Make sure that your answer best fist the context of the passage.
Make sure you keep track of your GED scores. Keep track of which parts you have taken (if you take the sections at different times) which part you have passed, and which parts that you need to retake.
If you've taken part of the GED and passed some sections but not others and end up moving, your scores can move with you. Even from state to state. Just be sure to check with the GED testing center to find out exactly what you will need to provide; most likely an official certificate showing your scores, similar to a transcript.
Remember that you can take the GED test more than once. Use that to your advantage. Let that help reduce the stress level going into the test. It isn't just a once and done thing. True, you will have to pay for it again the next time you take it, but just remember that if you don't pass, at least there is a next time. Taking the test is the best experience for passing the test. If it takes you a few tries that's ok. You will learn and gain experience each time you try.
