GED Books: Preparation for Taking the GED Test
Preparation is an essential part of any important examination. You probably have gained some knowledge and skills thorough life experience, reading, and informal training, but remember that the GED Tests are a rigorous battery of five tests that take more than seven and a half hours to complete. Regardless of your ability, you'll be more certain to perform your best on the tests if you know what to expect before the testing day arrives.
The GED Testing Service does not offer test preparation. They strongly urge you, especially if you have been away from academic writing for some time, to enroll in a review course and take the Official GED Practice Test so that you can get feedback on your writing. There are several study guides available in local bookstores and libraries.
You may also want to check the GED web site (GEDtest.org); go to the page for "Prospective Test Takers," then click on "Preparation," then click on "Materials." Or you may call 1-800-636-9433 (1-800-62MYGED) to locate the Official GED Testing Center nearest you. The center's staff can tell you where to find an instructional program.
