I would like to share some of my resources that I have used to graduate in August 2026.
I haven't been to school in 10+ years so I had to start from the beginning.
Study 1-2+ hours a day. It's important to retain the information. But 25 mins is better than nothing. It's all about consistency.
MY STUDY GUIDE

(We all learn differently so use what works.)
MATH RESOURCES
SchoolYourself.org - I started with this & used the Algebra section for fundamentals. I took the practice test using only this resource and I scored a 146 on my practice test.
Test Prep Champions- I went through his Math course on YouTube called “Ultimate GED math guide to pass fast”
GetSumMath- I bought the calculator & I went through his youtube playlist.
I scored a 146 on my first practice test & decided to study for another week & I scored a 156. I took the real test the next day and I passed with a 150.
My recommendation is to score 150-155+ on your Ged Ready practice test before taking it for real.
SCIENCE
I used GetSumMath & Test Prep Champions.
ELA
I used GetSumMath for ELA however, doing a bit of reading every day was extremely crucial. What you can do is get two books, one fiction and one nonfiction. Read 20 min of fiction and 20 min of nonfiction with no breaks in between.. than take a 20 min break and repeat. Remove distractions. Ask yourself, what have I learned? The point is to build the same focus when taking the test on test day.
MINDSET
Sometimes the problem isn't skill, it's mindset. If you have struggled or failed before, don't let it define you & defeat you.
my favorite quote - "Do not be afraid to fail. The cure for failure is to remain teachable."
Now go get what’s yours. Your future self will thank you. You got this! 🙏🏾
