The questions in each of these tests require you to use general knowledge and thinking skills.
Few questions ask about facts, details, or definitions.
The GED Tests are designed to measure the important knowledge and skills usually learned in high school. You can take the GED if you are 18 years of age or older, not enrolled in school, and have not graduated from high school. We recommend that before taking the GED test, you contact the nearest Adult Education office to request a practice GED test. Once you receive your practice test results you may discover that you need some help preparing for the GED Test. We can help you decide whether you will need to study for all of the tests, or whether you should spend time brushing up in a few subject areas.
