How to Get the Most Out of GED Practice Tests
To pass the General Education Development (GED) test with flying colors, try a few practice tests. Reviewing typical GED test questions and feeling confident with your answers is a great way to prepare for the high school equivalency exam. To really benefit and get the most out of your GED practice tests, keep the following steps in mind:
-
Carefully read the instructions at the beginning of each test.
-
Know the time restrictions for the real test, and stick to them as you take the practice test.
-
Prepare for the practice test the way you would prepare for the real test.
-
Make a mental plan beforehand so you know how to answer the questions in the allotted time.
-
Focus on each question and choose the best possible answer.
-
After you finish all the questions or run out of time, make some notes on your scrap paper about the difficulty of the test.
-
Check the answers to see how you did.
-
When you finish checking your answers, add up the number of questions you answered correctly.
-
Review the questions you missed, even if you only missed one, and read the notes you made right after you finished the test (in Step 6).
-
Go on to the second practice test if you did well on the first one or if you’ve finished any extra preparation you wanted to do.
