How hard is getting a GED?
I just took the GED a few weeks ago (I'm 16), trust me, just about anyone with a little common sense can pass this thing. I didn't even study for language arts (reading and writing), science or social studies and I still got into the high eighty percentile on each one of them. All I would say is to study math (which still is very simple stuff), but it's not like you have to be an expert on formulas or anything, and learn the simple 5 part essay structure. Plus, the current scoring system works entirely in the student's favor, I would be astonished if you didn't pass, having been in high school (I was always home schooled). Which makes me wonder how easy high school actually is seeing that the GED is equivalent to its difficulty. Anyway, on a scale of 1 to 10 (measuring its difficulty), I'd give it a decent five to six.
Is getting your GED hard..?
that really depends on several factors including * how long youve been out of high school * how well you did when you attended * how well you prepare ( lots of books/sample tests available in the library/online hope this helps - good luck
Is passing your GED hard?
I'm going to take my GED when I'm sixteen (2017), and I'm currently homeschooled. I'd like to get a GED book so I can study for two years, but how hard is it? And will I have to get my driver's license first? Thank you :)
How hard is it to get a GED?

How hard is it to get your GED?
If you're under age 21, and you got the CDOS, you are legally eligible to return to high school until you are age 21, and to continue to try to get your Regent's diploma or local diploma. Look on the last page of this document, and you'll see what I mean: http://www.advocatesforchildren.org/site... If you have a social worker, or if your old school has a social worker, talk to that person; or have your parents do so. Your parents can also call the office at your old school, or talk to your local department of education. You may be able to go back to school starting immediately - like, next week. You may be able to do the local diploma, rather than the Regent's diploma. It requires lower test scores. But it's a real high school diploma, unlike the CDOS. To your question, the GED is hard for a lot of people. You can take GED prep classes at your local community college. They are very cheap if not free - I think those at my local CC were $25 for the entire term, so $25 total. You can take them more than once, and there's a teacher there who can help you. But I'm not sure that you'll be able to pass the GED. It *might* be easier for you to complete the local diploma, and that's why I mentioned that to you in this answer. Look into getting the local diploma. Look into going back to school, starting immediately. I also wonder if you might not benefit from one of the summer programs for high school students at Landmark College: https://www.landmark.edu/summer Landmark specializes in educating students with LDs. I wonder if they might be able to help you get your academic skills up to a level where you might be able to get the local diploma. Might be worth looking into, if you will be age 18 or younger next summer.
Is the 2018 GED test hard?
It is harder than it needs to be. A common complaint s the digital platform o which you answer questions. Particularly problems seem to arise during the math portion, as answer bubbles/drag and drog/etc don’t always populate the way they should.A bigger concern with regards to GED, is the fact that GED now longs to a for profit institution. Before it was non-profit, efforts would be made to “Norm” the test, to make sure it aligned with what High School students were learning and would need in college or the workforce.That is no longer the case. After you fail a subtest, the GED program will “Recommend” books and resources (for a price) that you can take to study and retest. There is also a discount on retesting a subtest.FEAR NOT!There are testing alternatives out there, like HiSet, which is modified yearly and normed with high school students. It is standards based and many of the questions seem to rely on “real world” usage, IE… using percentages or algebra to solve problems that you’d encounter in work situations.Many places offer free retesting of subtests, if you fail one or two during your initial testing battery.HiSet is also non-profit, they don’t answer to stakeholders, but instead reinvest the money they make from testing to make sure its as accurate in repressing “ high school equivalency,” as possible.
