GED Social Studies

Recently a reader asked me about preparing for the GED Social Studies test. What is the best way and what can a teacher do to adequately prepare for the GED Social Studies test?

First, it is important to remember that each student is unique and comes with their own background experiences. Each student will need to prepare in their own way and in their own time.

You also need to consider reading ability.

Find some great GED books, daily read the newspaper and have discussions, and surf the web to find GED Social Studies websites.

What is your favorite website? Send me a comment and I will post it here. If we help each other out..... we all win!

GED: General Education Diploma

The acronym GED stands for General Education Diploma. There are 5 tests, called a Battery, that make up the GED tests. They are Language Arts, Reading; Language Arts, Writing; Science; Social Studies; and Mathematics.

These five tests measure the knowledge found in those areas. The GED tests are timed tests that can vary from 65 minutes to 2 hours.

Depending on where you are located, you may need to take the entire battery of GED tests in one or two sittings. Other places will allow you to test one test at a time.

It is important that you contact your local official GED Testing Center to find out the specific GED requirements for your location.
