GED Prep Tutoring FAQ
The GED allows students who dropped out of high school to earn a certificate comparable to a high school diploma. However, it is not given away: the GED tests a candidate's knowledge of all four core academic subjects. Each test is graded separately on a 100-200 scale, with 145 generally considered to be a passing grade (varies by state). A student needs to pass each test individually in order to earn credit, meaning that you cannot make up for a 135 in English with a 155 in math. If you need some help preparing for the exam, Varsity Tutors can help you find a GED Prep tutor who can help you work toward your academic goals.
Here is how each GED test breaks down:
Math: 115 minutes to answer multiple-choice questions. It's divided into two parts, with calculators permitted on Part II. Sample topics include algebra, geometry, graphs, and functions.
English Language Arts: 150 minutes total, including 45 for the essay component. Multiple-choice questions test a student's Reading Comprehension, Grammar, and Argumentation skills
Social Studies: 70 minutes, tests a student's ability to apply information (prose and numerical data) within historical context. Multiple-choice
Science: 90 minutes, tests a student's ability to apply information )prose and numerical data) within scientific contexts. Multiple-choice
GED Prep tutoring allows you to concentrate specifically on your areas of need. For instance, a student who tenses up whenever they see numbers probably needs to spend more time on math than they do on English. Working with a private tutor allows you to study at your own pace, so you can keep reviewing a given concept until you are comfortable with it.
A GED Prep tutor can also take the time to get to know you as a person. Study sessions can be designed based on whether you are a visual or auditory learner, and any hobbies you have can be incorporated into sessions to make them more engaging. You also have two years to complete the GED battery of exams, so your tutor can help you decide whether you should take them all at once or spread them out over multiple testing sessions.
GED Prep tutoring can also teach you several vital academic skills. For example, outlining your thoughts before the writing portion of the English exam can help ensure that your argument is structured well. Likewise, active reading can make it easier to understand the primary sources on the social studies and science tests.
