GED Multiple Choice Questions

Whether you are a GED student or someone who is mentoring/tutoring a GED student you should know that many of the GED problems are multiple choice.

While it may seen that there are so.... many choices when choosing the answer, it will be much easier if you learn how to rule out answers that are weak.

Remember..... when you answer multiple choice questions..... begin by ruling out any answers that are weak or simply do not make sense.

First, begin by reading the questions and THEN skim over the answers. If you are studying reading, science, or social studies..... read the passages and look at the charts/graphs. Next, rule out any answers that are weak and do not address the question. You should be able to eliminate the answers down to a possible two. Then evaluate the two remaining answers. If necessary, go back into the passage again.

For some students this may go fast.... for others it will require practice.

So....find a good GED book and grab a great GED teacher and do your best!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Learning New GED Vocabulary

I just got back from a GED meeting where we were discussing ways to learn new vocabulary. We talked about one way.... were you ask a series of questions about the word. Here is how it works.

Let's say you are studying the word "percent". You may ask questions such as the following.

1. Have you ever seen this word?
2. Do you know how to pronounce the word?
3. Can you find a smaller word inside the larger word?
4. Do you know what it means?
5. Can you use it in a sentence?

All of a sudden you now have a whole conversation based on one word. I plan on trying this tomorrow and I will let you know how it goes.

If you decide to try it.......... send me a comment and tell me how it went! Good luck!
