The ged test can be hard if you are not mentally prepared for it.\nI have taken it and It can and will make you nervous. Just remember the answers are multiple choice. Use the process of elimination on some answers. Never go back and erase an answer, just leave it. Have you studied from a GED book? If not I strongly suggest you do. Math is the killer part of the test. LearnATest.com will help with your math.\nTry these websites. You will need to download examforce.com/ged just as it say.\nGood Luck on your test.\nJust remember you can always take it again and pass.\nIf you need help email me at: zulavwilson@yhaoo.com, I can give you some more info to use.

hi, i live in akron ohio, and recently took my GED test for free. i was enrolled in the ABLE program. (adult basic literacy education.) all i had to do was take their practice GED test, and upon passing it they gave me a waiver form to send in with my application for a GED test date. i would call your local library and see if they know any adult education programs in your area. good luck!

No if you have a GED you still have to take a college placement test and if you don't have a GED , you have to first get the GED before you can be accepted into a college and have to take the college placement test before you can enter any classes. If you fail the placement you have to go back and take an adult basic education class in the subject you were too weak in if you do not test at the placement standard.\nSo order is\nGED, College Placement TEST

I got my GED by going to the local college. I didn't have to take any classes, I just took the pretest, passed, and took the real one. It usually only takes two days to actually finish the test. Of course, it all depends on what state your in. I took mine in Kentucky.

yes it's possible. you'll just have to work harder than a person who has a degree. It looks like the business world is giving jobs to people with degrees over people who have experience. It seems like it should be the other way around, but it's not. You'll just have to settle for lower paying, labor intensive jobs. If at all possible try to get a degree. even if its just a 2-year associates at a community college, it would be better than just a ged or diploma. there's tons of grants and scholarships out there it'll be a little work to get it. but in the long run your hard work will pay off.

I don't think you can.  I believe you have to do monitored testing for the GED.

I would take a GED as less than a High School Diploma. Why? Easy...if you couldn't commit to going to High School for four years, what makes me think you would do the same for my company?\n\nHigh School isn't about classes, it is about survival. You learn how to deal with all sorts of people. Those I know who "ditched out" or "were done with that as soon as they were 17" weren't exactly reputable people. \n\nPregnant teens are different, mainly because they are typically forced out of the public school system. That is wrong and different. However, everyone else should keep their rear end in school.\n\n\nNOW if you are looking to go to University, it is up to the University as to what their opinion is. Frankly, employers don't care after University about High School all too much. What is more important is the University Degree...so if you are doing that, awesome...\n\nBut, if you just keep looking at the GED as an excuse to drop out and you aren't looking for a University Education as of now....stay in school.

You don't have to go through twelve years of school. You can quit high school and get a GED. As far as I know, the GED is not offered to people younger than 16. You can take the SAT earlier than that and be admitted to some colleges before you earn a GED. Few teenagers choose this option because they want the benefit of staying with their peer group through the traditional educational process. The traditional educational system is set up to keep children in school until they are old enough to care for themselves so that they don't get in trouble on the streets and so that they won't be out competing with adults in the job market.

Most towns have a place where ged classes are held contact an area college they should be able to provide you with that information. there are ged books available at your local book store but I would recommend the classes and i think in most cases the classes are free.

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

it all depends on how smart you are.  I do recomend going to classes that are offered,   just as a memory refresher.   Failing a ged test without studying can be a little embarassing.

You do not need a GED if you homeschool through high school.  My older daughter joined the U.S. Army without it (There's a congressional thing that says they cannot discriminate against homeschoolers in joining the Armed Forces.)  and my younger daughter is a softmore in college.  Both were homeschooled all the way through high school.  You must have your parents on board.  I had to write and notarize letters, stating what we did in homeschooling, etc.  My word as their parent and educator is all it took.\n\nTo get into college you do have to pass the ACT or SAT, depending on your state and the ASVAB test for the military.  So you must actually work to learn as a homeschooler to succeed.  But you will succeed if you work at it.  It's not a free ride.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

Go to your local library and see if they might have a GED program or GED resources you can use.  Some libraries even offer GED classes in math and english for a small fee, or even free.\nIf you live by a college, the college might also have some GED resources.
