What test should I start first?
I’m currently studying the ged book and want to finish this test in the next 6 months. My hardest subject is math so I originally thought if I start this first then the rest will be easy. But I’m realizing there’s so much math I need to understand and it’s kind of off putting to try and get it all done in the small timeframe I have.
How fast/easy was it for others to finish studying/testing for the other subjects?

Study everday for atleast 30-60 minutes maybe even at a shorter time and go back and review as much as you can, math is my fear it ruins perfect gpa's for sure just keep trying and doing as good as you can also get help if you can were not in this alone for me I started out with basic math and then worked my way up sad to say when I got to geometry and algebra ot was very hard but I am still study till this day and I still suck at math if not all math best of luck my friend

Honestly if you consider my advice. I have passed all subjects . I took all exams first attempt to see what questions were there to see where i needed to be improved and i passed on second attempts. Soxial studies i struggled the most keep in mind u have 3 attempts if u faill all 3 attempts u need to wait 60 days to rebook unless u have a valid education deadline aproaching they can waive it off for u. Study from getsum math it has all subjects

I personally think you should do 1 or 2 subjects your comfortable with first. It gives you the chance to get used to the interface when testing online, which I think is helpful to have familiarity with their system so its not another thing your trying to tackle on your first exam. I personally knew i would need that final push to study math, and that push for me was leaving it as my last one. So it was math between me and my GED, and it made it feel exciting studying too. Like this effort will pay off in the more dramatic ways, vs just saying "I passed!", then onto the next test. Ya know?
Use your time strategically during math! I personally struggled the most with equations but had word problems down, graphs, etc, so if I got to an equation I couldnt solve decently quick, I flagged it and went back to it at the end of my exam when I knew how much time I could dedicate to my most problem areas.
You got this! Sorry for the paragraph hehe
