3. How hard is the test?
How hard the GED test will be is related to the mathematics, writing and reading skills you bring to the test. Students with skills at the 12th grade level are generally successful on the GED test. Most students need a review of grammar, an opportunity to write, and math review of fractions, decimals, percents, some algebra, and geometry. Students also need practice with a Casio fx 260 Solar Calculator.
