![]() The best way to prepare for the GED’s Math section is to review math concepts from fractions and decimals to coordinate geometry and probability, paying particular attention to any areas in which you struggle. Keep your scratch work organized, and draw out any missing graphs or geometrical shapes in order to get a better grasp on the problem. Since these question types have more possible answers, and thus more wrong answers, careful calculation is required. ![]() In addition to multiple choice questions, the GED Math section includes fill-in-the-blank and enhanced answers: you may be asked to drag items onto a list or chart, or select points on a coordinate system. Also, make sure you read each question fully and carefully to see what is being asked in many cases, interpreting a question incorrectly will lead you to choose or enter the wrong answer. For example, if the question only includes variables (like x or y), you may want to “plug in” real numbers to make calculation much easier and avoid having to work with abstract algebra. Take advantage of the calculator and the multiple choice answers when tackling questions. The GED and other standardized tests often choose problems that can be solved in different ways. While preparing for the GED’s Math section, practice using different methods to answer the question. However, simpler formulas are expected to be memorized by the test-taker, so it is crucial to know the formulas for areas of circles, triangles, and rectangles, the Pythagorean theorem, and special right triangles. The 2014 GED provides a formula sheet that includes equations for areas of complex two- and three-dimensional shapes like parallelograms, spheres, and pyramids, as well as the equation for the slope of a straight line and the quadratic formula. ![]() A little more than half of the questions test algebra, including quadratic functions, coordinate geometry, and linear equations the rest of the questions test general math skills, which include fractions, roots, and geometry. ![]() The GED Mathematical Reasoning test covers two main areas: quantitative problem solving and algebraic problem solving. The on-screen calculator is not available to be used while answering the first five questions after completing these, the calculator can be used for the remaining forty-one questions. The GED’s Math test is a single section composed of forty-six problems 115 minutes are allotted for it, giving you two-and-a-half minutes to solve each problem. Concepts specific to calculus or trigonometry are not included, and you can use an on-screen calculator for most of the questions. However, the GED only tests basic math concepts: your ability to work with numbers, decode story problems, analyze data, and solve algebra and geometry problems. The Mathematical Reasoning section of the 2014 GED may seem intimidating, particularly if you haven’t taken high-school-level mathematics courses in a few years or a few decades. ![]()
