GED Math: What do I need to know?

GED Math Help: The GED math test is two parts. Part one is 45 minutes with 25 questions, and you can use a calculator. Part two is 45 minutes with 25 questions, and you can NOT use a calculator.

Check with your GED testing center regarding the type of calculator. In Wisconsin, we are required to use a fx-260.

The make-up of the test is as follows:

25% number operations & number sense
25% measurement & geometry
25% data analysis, statistics, and probability
25% algebra, functions, and patterns
