Did you take a GED test? please click here!?
Average GED Scores: It has been estimated that only 60% of the high school graduates pass the GED test with a minimum GED score of 420 in each of the five GED test subjects and an average of 450 in all the five GED tests. In order to convert the GED score into average GED score, the candidate must first of all find his total GED score and then divide the total GED score with the number of tests that he had appeared for. Mostly the candidate has to sit for five subjects in the GED test. For instance, if the candidate?s total score is 2600, and he sat for the entire five GED tests, then his average GED score will be 520(2600/5). Average Scores Needed To Pass GED Test: Basically the average GED scores that the candidate needs to pass the GED test is decided upon by the state or the city where the candidate lives. The average GED score requirements differ from one place to another. After the adaptation of 2002 GED tests version, the minimum average GED score that the candidate requires to clear the GED test is 450 and he should also secure a minimum of 410 in all the five GED tests individually. The candidate must get an average GED score of 420 in language art/ writing, 450 in mathematics and 410 each in social studies, science and reading respectively.
How should I study for the Accuplacer math test? I want to make sure I do well to avoid taking any remedial classes in college.
Like another of my answers, this one is easy, don't. The Accuplacer is designed not as an exit test (did you learn the minimum), but an entrance exam (what is the maximum you know). Study material in a way to understand it, and you will do fine on the Accuplacer. If all you are trying to do is get past this barrier, you may get into a course that you are not prepared for, and you would likely struggle in that course. If the Accuplacer shows that you should be in a remedial course, you likely should be in that course. Your best study option is to study in high school or to review what you studied in school to remind yourself of the concepts if it has been a while since you were in school. Don't just cram for the test, review your Algebra and higher math courses.
How difficult is the 2014 GED test?
I am an ABE/GED teacher for 17 years. Tge Ged changed in 2002 and many were concerned that it was too hard. After a few years, it was the normal. That will happen with GED 2014. Nationwide testing has dropped by about 80%, but those taking the test are having a high level of success. Don't be scared, and it is not to bad.GED 2014 is computer based, so if computers and typing are uncomfortable for you, it could be more difficult. I have seen much fewer problems with this with younger students. Practice using computers and it is not as scary.GED 2014 has 4 tests (Reasonig through Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Mathematical Reasoning). The important words here are reasoning. The test will have questions where you have to write your answer using supporting evidence. Practice writing about articles in the newspaper (or online articles) and describe why you agree or disagree with the article. Editorial pages are good places to look for examples of this writing.The Mathematical Reasoning tends to be the scarriest for my students. Many of them don't want to even attempt it. It is not as scary as they make it out to be. Yes, there is graphing, Algebra and Geometry, but a little study and some confidence in your skills (and you do have skills) can go a long way to helping you score better.ABE centers (like mine in Golden Valley MN) are there to help you. They are government funded, so they do not have tuition (at least in MN). We know the test and tips to help you. Many, not all, have both day and night hours. Come in and let us help.You can go to MYGED.COM to register for the test and take the practice test to see if you are ready and what skills to study to help you score better. However, it is still beneficial to come to an ABE center as we offer discounts on both the GED Ready and the official GED (Save Money!)The big idea here is get materials and practice. You wouldn't take a physical test without practicing or getting some coaching (Think of professional sports teams or athletes), so seek help and prepare.Good luck and do well.
Possible to stay awake 48 hours for continuous study?
Hey, bro, sry for the nasty upcoming exams. Hope you do well. What I did on the finals day (took 7 exams for 10-day-period) was: 1) Sleep for one whole day or do anything you want 2 days before the exam. Don't worry about exams. If you do, u would get more stressed. 2) After classes, have dinner and rest for a few minutes. 3) Review class notes from the beginning of the semester to the end. (EX: chapter 1 note: memorize within 1 hour. Questions? Email prof/teacher or look for answers in a book, chapter 2 note:.......repetition) 4) Time your study hours, and if you are tired on the way (like 3am in the morning), have some sleep for 10 minutes. (set an alarm clock--pretty useful, and drink some water) 5) Repeat #3. Done? Rest till class starts. 6) Next day during lunch or interim between classes, review briefly things u memorized yesterday. It helps you remember important concepts permanently. 7) After classes, have dinner, rest for a few minutes, and review notes. Concepts you don't know? Ask prof and get answers ASAP, or find in the book. Concepts you can't memorize? Think of words that allow you to memorize the concepts easily. Or use the other concepts of the notes to relate to the concepts you can't memorize. 8) Get good night sleep for 4-5 hours, meaning you should be able to get 7 done pretty quickly. 9) Exam Day! Get your notes ready, bring to exam centers, skim through them quickly, and take it. 10) After exams, sleep! No side effects later as long as you slept for a whole day or two. My point is you do not have to stay up for 48 hours+. Manage your time effectively. Hope this helps!
What is the best way to prepare for the GED Writing test?
The GED no longer has a “writing” test. The tests are Social Studies, Science, Mathematical Reasoning and Reasoning through the Language Arts (RLA). The reason I bring that up is the importance of the words “reasoning”.The extended response for GED RLA test will give you two different articles to review and ask you to determine which article is best supported with evidence. This is a little different than the instructional or narrative essay that most people are used to writing.The GED RLA is evaluated by computer to look for a reasoned stance (which side do you choose), evidence from the article, and conventions of writing (punctuation, grammar, sentence and paragraph structure, etc) It does not test for your previous knowledge or your personal opinion on the topic (other than your opinion as to which is better supported). The better argument may be the side that you do not actually agree with, but the construction of the argument and the sources sited are better.So the best way to prepare is to look for some controversial topics that people can have differing views on and address the arguments being made on both sides in essays. Some resources you can look into to get more help and examples:Pros and Cons of Controversial IssuesAbout the GED® Test, Test Prep, Study Material and MoreFree Practice TestFree, Practice GED ExamSo really the best way to prepare is to practice. This is true for all four of the tests.Go out and do well! Andy
What is the best way to prepare for a GED examination?
One of the best ways to gear up for your GED test is to take a lot of practice tests that imitate the test questions as well as the conditions of the real GED test. As the exam evaluates your skills in math, social studies, science, and language arts you should review for these subjects again. Know the topics covered for each subject and start with your weak areas. Start reviewing months before the test. It would be good if you can establish a fixed study schedule.Learn more about GED here: GED Study Guide 2016: FREE Practice Tests & Video Courses.
Is an average score of 572 on the GED exam good?
It's fair... but a passing grade... "ACE’s Commission on Adult Learning and Educational Credentials sets the minimum requirements for issuing a GED credential. To pass the 2002 Series GED Tests, test-takers must earn both an average of the five individual subject area test scores of 450 or greater (a total standard score of 2250 or greater) and, in addition, each individual subject area test score must be 410 or greater. Jurisdictions may set their standard higher than, but not lower than, this level."
What is a GED and Associate Degrees?
LOL a GED is not the same thing as a High School diploma when jobs look at that they see that you were to lazy or you got in trouble alot and couldn't complete High School if you don't believe me then look at the Military requirements on it, If you have a GED you have to have to take some college credits to overrun that GED and a Associates Degree is a 2 year degree preparing you for a transfer to a 4 year college to get your bachelors if your not already at a University. It gets your basics done gen ed classes and some of your core classes then if you want a Bachelors degree you have to go another 2 - 4 years depending on your program of study.
