Course Overview:

In this course, you will learn the fundamental concepts necessary to complete the GED®Exam. Each exam comprises of materials within the subjects of mathematics, basic English, statistics and reasoning, science, social studies, and other related subjects. Additionally, the textbook offers skills and helpful suggestions to provide participants the ability to complete the exam successfully. As students work through the course, it is recommended to complete the exercises provided within each chapter of the core sections of the GED® exam. Doing so will provide ideas and a glimpse as to what may be on an actual GED® Exam.

Students will:

• Gain an understanding of how the GED® Exam works and how best to prepare for all parts of the exam
• Complete pretests for each of the core subject areas of the GED Exam to determine their areas of strength and opportunity
• Review core concepts of basic English and language arts, mathematical reasoning, science, and social studies
• Complete posttests to fully prepare prior to registering and taking the GED Exam in person

This comprehensive course prepares students for all four sections of the GED exam: Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science.
