What to Expect on the GED Tests (2002 Series)
The GED Tests (2002 series) measure knowledge in five different
areas: Language Arts, Writing; Social
Studies; Science; Language Arts, Reading; and Mathematics. An
important feature of the GED Tests is an essay that documents your
ability to write and communicate effectively.
The GED Tests usually require some preparation because they measure
the skills and knowledge taught to a graduating high school senior. In
fact, the passing standard/scores for the GED Tests are based on the
estimated passing rate of graduating high school seniors. In spring
2001, the tests were administered to a sample group of graduating high
school seniors and approximately 60 percent were estimated to be able to
pass the tests on their first try. Therefore, to pass the GED Tests, you
must perform as well as or better than 60 percent of
those seniors.
Although the GED Tests may look a little intimidating at first, there is
no shame in admitting you need to do some extra studying. Many
preparation tools are available to help you in your quest for a GED
credential. See our Test-takers:

testing center.
Additional help is also available for people who have documented
disabilities and may require more time or other types of
testing accommodations.
