Instructions

1. 

   Start by enrolling on a GED class. The school will give you an assessment test within a time limit period. This will enable them to know on what subject you need to take on the class.

   Classes are usually 4 -5 hours, 2 or 3 times a week. And there's morning and evening classes to choose from.

2. 

   Take all the practice exams required. The practice exams are there for your own good, to let you prepare for the final exam. And even the practice exams are within a time limit period, designed to let you get used to the real one. Finishing the practice exams within the time limit is a good sign, but when time' s up and you still have few unanswered questions left, it means you still need more time for preparation.

3. 

   Take one GED exam at a time. This will help you focus on just one subject, and will give you a better chance of passing that one.

4. 

   Take a good look at those practice exams. Some of those will show up on the real GED test.

5. 

   Relax, and concentrate as much as possible when taking the real GED exam. Focus on your paper.

   ANALYZE each questions. Some questions are tricky.
   DON'T TAKE MUCH TIME reading each questions repeatedly if you don't know the answer. MOVE ON on the next question. You can always come back to review, read, and analyze those questions you aren't sure with or doesn't know the answer. Remember the time is ticking.

6. 

   Ask questions to the examiner and not to the person next to you. The examiner is there to keep an eye on each and one of you and are usually strict. It would be embarrassing trying to talk to your neighbor and be accuse of cheating when you aren't.
