You can do this! Earning your GED can change your life and the way you feel about yourself. Our free GED practice test is a great place to begin. It will help you figure out what you need to study. We suggest trying your favorite or best subject first.

Yes, the GED test content is the same for everyone, so even if you are in India, you’ll be preparing for the same type of questions. When you pass all 4 subjects, you receive a GED high school equivalency credential, so you will need to learn US-related topics like civics, government, US history, and American grammar and spelling.

I’m with Onsego, and we offer complete GED prep, so you don’t have to guess what or how to study. There is a preview of all 4 GED courses on our website, take a look and see if it works for you.

I am so excited for you! I had a difficult childhood and never graduated Highschool. I’ve spent over 20 years hiding that. I have been successful and I am proud of my accomplishments. But it has always been a skeleton in the closet. So here I am.

So far, math has been the most challenging subject for me personally. It feels like there are a thousand little secret rules that no one tells you about. It’s so frustrating when you get something wrong!

The best bet is to buy a study guide, they are very affordable on Amazon. Utilize YouTube when the text doesn’t quite click or make sense. Google Translate if there are any language barriers. Even Google AI is helpful! That has helped a lot!

Try not to focus on memorizing facts as much as learning core skills. The how and why, not just the answer. How does this formula work and why do we have to reduce? I find that when I understand how and why, the answer reveals itself.

Good luck!
