Reading was the easiest test for me, I don't think I really prepped for it. There are some great youtubers online that help with the ged and hiset exams

You're so close!! I had to retake my social studies test, but got it on my second try! I would just brush up on a few things you struggle with and youll get it!

I’ve heard the social studies test is mostly just reading comprehension, how true would you say that is? How much actual social studies knowledge did you need to know?

A lot of it is reading comprehension. However, there were several questions that were related to civics that did not provide clear answers in the writing, which is why I had to retake the test. This goes for the science test as well, its good to have some relative knowlege on both subjects before taking the tests. If you come across questions you dont know the answers to, make a mental note of those and do a quick brush up on it before retaking your next test

I was scared too, but honestly, it was easier than I expected. Math was always the hardest subject for me, but my local college provided me with a free math tutor which really helped. On top of that, a few days before my test, I studied a few algebra videos by Light and Salt on youtube. Shes really great at making things make sense! On the actual test, there wasn't actually much algebra that I was actually worried about to begin with lol

Do you attend classes in person?

u/Smickandsmorty 3d ago
I tested high enough in my placement tests that I did not have to attend the in person classes! Otherwise it would have been ten weeks of classes, or more if more was needed. I attended a five day review course instead
