GED Study Buddy

If you are struggling with your GED tests, I would recommend a GED study buddy. This could be someone who is also currently working on their GED or someone who has gone through the process. It could also be a trusted friend or a parent. The key is to find someone who you know, like, and trust and study with them. Develop a schedule of study and stick to it. Good luck!

GED Math Tip #2: Understand Your Math Skills

Now that you know a little about the GED math test, it is time to focus on YOU. How do you feel about math? When you think about having to solve a fraction, decimal, or percent problem.... do you have a feeling of intense frustration or helplessness? Do you feel confident or terrified?
Part of your frustration may come from not knowing what your math skills are. Learningtrends has a free pre-ged math assessment to help you determine what you know and also what you don't.

Math Anxiety: A feeling of intense frustration or helplessness about one's ability to do math. It is an emotional reaction to math based on past unpleasant math experiences. To help overcome math anxiety, you must have good learning experiences in math.

If you feel anxious about math, you may want to consider learning (or reviewing) it in what I call "slivers". Learn a little at a time with continuous review. Start with what you already know and build on that knowledge.

Find a good math book that starts with whole numbers and number sense.
