GED
The General Educational Development (GED) test is a set of exams designed to measure high school-level knowledge and skills. It provides an alternative certification for individuals who did not complete a traditional high school diploma. The GED covers four main subjects: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. Passing the GED test demonstrates that the test-taker has the equivalent knowledge and skills of a high school graduate, opening up opportunities for further education, employment, and personal growth.

Subjects
1. Reasoning Through Language Arts
This section evaluates reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking skills. Test-takers will read passages from various texts, including fiction, non-fiction, and workplace documents.

The essay usually involves analyzing arguments or providing a viewpoint on a given topic.
2. Mathematical Reasoning
The Mathematical Reasoning section assesses mathematical skills and concepts, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. It consists of two parts: one allowing the use of a calculator and the other without. Test-takers should be familiar with basic math operations, algebraic expressions, solving equations, and interpreting graphs and charts.
3. Science
The Science section covers topics in life science, physical science, and Earth and space science. It tests the ability to understand and apply scientific concepts and reasoning to real-world scenarios. Test-takers will encounter questions involving data interpretation, experimental procedures, and critical analysis of scientific information.
4. Social Studies
This section evaluates knowledge and understanding of history, government, economics, geography, and civics. The questions are based on reading passages, graphics, and charts, requiring the test-taker to analyze and interpret information. Topics include U.S. history, world history, civics and government, economics, and geography.
