If you are concerned about passing it, check with your local school district about adult GED courses.  They will likely be very inexpensive and give you a pretest to determine areas you need to work on.  You would then  study those areas and prepare to take the test.\n\nBest Wishes,\nSue

GED\nEligibility: Students who take the GED exams must not be enrolled in or graduated from high school, must be over the age of sixteen, and must meet other state requirements. \n\nRequirements: The GED is awarded when a student passes a series of tests in five academic subjects. In order to pass each test, the student must score higher than 60% of the sample set of graduating seniorsGenerally, students need to spend a considerable amount of time studying for the exams. \n\nLength of study: Students are not required to take traditional courses in order to earn their GED. The examinations take seven hours and five minutes cumulatively. Students may need to take preparation courses in order to get ready for the exams. However, this is not mandatory.\n\nReception at the office: The majority of employers hiring at entry-level positions will consider a GED score as comparable to an actual diploma. A small number of employers will consider the GED inferior to a diploma. If a student continues school and receives a college degree, his employer will probably not even consider how he completed his high school education.\n\nReception at the college: Most community colleges admit students who have received a GED. Individual universities have their own policies. Many will accept students with a GED. However, some colleges will not view it as equivalent to a diploma, particularly if they require specialized courses of study for admittance. In many instances, a traditional diploma will be viewed as superior.\n\nHigh School Diploma\nEligibility: Laws vary from state to state, but most schools will permit students to work on completing their high school diploma at a traditional public school for 1-3 years after they turn eighteen. Special community schools and other programs often provide older students the opportunity to complete their work. School diplomas do not generally have minimum age requirements. \n\nRequirements: In order to receive a diploma, students must complete coursework as dictated by their school district. Curriculum varies from district to district.\n\nLength of study: Students generally take four years to complete their diploma.\n\nReception at the office: A high school diploma will allow students to operate in many entry-level positions. Generally, employees with diplomas will earn significantly more than those without. Students who wish to advance in a company may need to attend college for additional training.\n\nReception at the college: Most students admitted to colleges have earned a high school diploma. However, a diploma does not guarantee acceptance. Factors such as grade point average, coursework, and extracurricular activities will weigh into admissions decisions

Go get a study guide with practice tests on cd rom. Take a practice test each day, then look up every answer you got wrong in the book that comes with the cd rom.\n\nThen get a good nights sleep before the test, eat a good breakfast, and remember that the first dozen questions on the computerized version of the test are critical, so do your best to get the first few correct.\n\nWhen you get to the test site be sure to take some time to practice with the computer so you get the hang of how to do the computerized part of the test.\n\nGood luck!

The school, such as the vocational and technical school where the GED test is given, should have a bulletin board with ads from other students offering tutoring for a payment per hour basis. Try to find a cute girl to tutor you...hehe\n\nThe internet sites , such as the one I list, are also very good

There will be records at the school where you obtained your GED. They can send a copy to you. Sometimes, there is a small fee.

I would say it would be easier to just sign up and take the ged in your area.  if you're worried you won't remember all the math and stuff you need to know, then your local bookstore should have a ged prep book.  that way you can brush up without having to actually go to the ged classes.  i'm not sure how the at home high school diplomas work, but each state has different requirements for high school graduation so i wouldn't trust it.  if you are thinking of going onto a community or technical college neither one would give you an advantage over another and at a 4 yr school the ged might actually help you qualify for more schloarships for "non traditional" students.  good luck

Check for an Adult Basic Education Program in your area. They will test you to see where you may need help, school you to prepare you for the GED, then pay for you to take it

In the education and reference sections of most bookstores there are usually a good variety of prep books available for the GED. I would suggest spending some time in the store reading through the books to see which ones are easiest for you to read. There is no need spending money on a book that you are not going to understand.\n\nPersonally, for that sort of thing, I have found that the "... for Dummies" series of books to be great. They get experts in the field to write the books, so they contain good information, and they make them humerous so they are not so difficult to read. (If needing a "... for Dummies" book makes you a dummie, I must be one of the worst, I have a whole shelf full of them. :-) )

I don't know if this can be done.  It would be difficult to determine if the person taking the test is actually the person who signed up to take the test.  I could take the test for my cousin and he would pass, getting a GED he didn't earn.\n\nThere are plenty of sites that offer GED preparation online, though.\n\nJetgirly, (I'll probably get reported for this, but here goes)....glasses houses....stone...ring a bell....?\n"refence"?  Its reference.  Give the girl a break.

Hello:\n\nDURING THE TEST \nThere are also some things to keep in mind when you are TAKING the test. \n\nFirst, read the directions carefully!! Many points have been lost because students didn't follow the directions. \n\nRemember to preview the test to see how much time you need to allot for each section. If the test is all multiple choice questions, it is good to know that immediately. \n\nWork on the "easiest" parts first. If your strength is essay questions, answer those first to get the maximum points. Pace yourself to allow time for the more difficult parts. \n\nFind out if you are penalized for incorrect responses. (This is probably covered in the directions. If not, make educated guesses. If there is a penalty, avoid guessing. \n\nWhen answering essay questions, try to make an outline in the margin before you begin writing. Organization, clear thinking, and good writing is important, but so is neatness. Be sure to make your writing legible. \n\nSave time at the end of the exam to review your test and make sure you haven't left out any answers or parts of answers. This is difficult to do under the stress of exams, but it often keeps you from making needless errors. \nhttp://www.d.umn.edu/kmc/student/loon/acad/strat/test_take.html\n\nBefore the test.\nTest Preparation Tips\nPreparation for your first test should begin after the first day of class; this includes studying, completing homework assignments and reviewing study materials on a regular basis. \nBudget your time, make sure you have sufficient time to study so that you are well prepared for the test. \n\nGo to review, pay attention to hints that the instructor may give about the test. Take careful notes and ask questions about items you may be confused about. \n\nAsk the instructor to specify the areas that will be emphasized on the test. \n\nMake sure you go to the class right before the test; it's another prime time for the instructor to give out more hints or the format of the test. \n\nGo over any material from practice tests, HW's, sample problems, review material, the textbook, class notes... \n\nEat before a test, having food in your stomach will give you energy and help you focus, but avoid heavy foods which can make you groggy. \n\nDon't try to pull an all nighter, get at least 3 hours of sleep before the test. \n\nPut the main ideas/information/formulas onto a sheet that can be quickly reviewed many times, this makes it easier to retain the key concepts that will be on the test. \n\nTry to show up at least 5 minutes before the test will start. \n\nSet your alarm and have a backup alarm set as well. \n\nGo to the bathroom before walking into the exam room, you don't want to waste anytime worrying about your bodily needs during the test. \nhttp://www.testtakingtips.com/test/genpre.htm\n\nDuring the test.\nTest Taking Tips\nBring at least two pens/pencils with good erasers, calculator with enough batteries and any other resources that your instructor allows you to. \nBring a watch to the test with you so that you can better pace yourself. \n\nKeep a positive attitude throughout the whole test and try to stay relaxed, if you start to feel nervous take a few deep breaths to relax. \n\nKeep your eyes on your own paper, you don't want to appear to be cheating and cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. \n\nWhen you first receive your test, do a quick survey of the entire test so that you know how to efficiently budget your time. \n\nDo the easiest problems first; don't stay on a problem that you are stuck on especially when time is a factor. \n\nDo the problems that have the greatest point values first. \n\nDon't rush but pace yourself, read the entire question and look for keywords. \n\nAsk the instructor for clarification if you don't understand what they are asking for on the test. \n\nWrite legibly, if the grader can't read what you wrote they'll most likely mark it wrong. \n\nAlways read the whole q

wouldn't that be something you should look into? You are making random people do your job. Look in the phonebook for GED classes and call the number provided. They will tell you if it's possible and when and where you can take it.

The ASVAB is much much easier than the GED.\nDon't sweat it just do your best and if the GED was easy for you, you should do very well.\nAs some people know and some don't (ryan) 25 to 35% of people with their diplomas Can't pass the test for the General Equivalence Degree.\nI was shocked to find that out when I took mine as it was so easy.\n( I have both my diploma and my GED so I could graduate early)\nGood Luck and thanks in advance for your service.

Don't worry.  At least from what I've seen, GED math is not difficult or even tricky.\n\nCheck this out:\n\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/math/index.html\n\nand good luck.\n\nFor fun arithmetic,\nStart with any positive integer. Halve it if it is even; triple it and add 1 if it is odd. If you keep repeating this procedure, must you eventually reach the number 1? \n\nFor example, starting with the number 6, we get: 6, 3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.

1.  Come prepared with pens, white-out, pencils, erasers and a watch.\n2.  Sit up straight and don't sit near people who will distract you.  If you often have questions during the test, sit near the front of the room.\n3.  If you have to read something and answer questions about it, start by reading the questions first.  Then you'll know what to look for when you're doing the reading, and can underline important passages as you read.\n4.  Trust your intuition and keep the first answer you selected.\n5.  Use the information from multiple-choice questions to help you write essay questions.\n6.  If you have to write an essay question, use the words from the question in your introductory sentence.\n7.  If you have a math test, always show your work.\n8.  Give priority to the questions that are worth more points.  Don't waste ten minutes on a question worth one point unless you're finished everything else on the test.\n9.  Before you submit your test to the teacher, go back and make sure you've answered all the questions and didn't miss a page.\n10. If you had to answer multiple-choice questions on a bubble sheet, frequently check to make sure you're filling in the right row.  ALL of your answers will be wrong if you accidentally miss a row or put two answers in one row.\n11.  Plan something fun to do right after the test so that you won't just sit around worrying for the next two hours!\n\nGOOD LUCK!
