I (26M) felt like I was too dumb to pass the GED tests before advice and encouragement from a coworker who is like an adopted grandma to me. I was terrified especially of math, but I did the adult ed/GED course at my local community college and the teachers were great!
The amount of studying i did is nauseating, 5 points …..I missed by 5 points, They made me wait over 1 hour in the queue to take my test, no phones are allowed, no studying, just sit up in view of the camera and barely move because the AI generated system will cancel your appointment if you make too much noise, for some reason the test rules apply while you’re in queue?!?, this completely drained my energy I took the test online at home and unfortunately the program seemed to be glitching, it wouldn’t let me put symbols in the typing section, it actually told me to add those symbols if I needed to but when I did a box would come up and say “you can’t complete this action “ there were a few questions that required a dash and apostrophes, I let the prompter know and he just saved my test and re launched me to a new prompt, the new person was a woman and she was incredibly rude and kept interrupting me asking “let me see your hands “ and “let me see your desk” the relaunch did nothing to help the glitch and the woman didn’t seem to care, So I was forced to put the wrong answer in some of the questions, I believe I would have passed if they had their shit together.
so i’ve always been ahead of my glasses and just utterly bored in high school and taking online college courses just to feel engaged so i’ve been planning to get my GED next fall once i turn 16 so i can just go to college. duel enrollment just seems restrictive, id really rather do 2 year community college and then go to four year school. whatever whatever that doesn’t matter. i’m posting to ask if there’s anything i need to be aware of or advice you guys have? i’m giving myself a year to study which im sure is plenty time as well as getting started on whatever other bs the state needs me to do since i’m under 18. my parents are fully supportive of this idea and i’ll be talking to my guidance counselor once school starts up. 😛😛
I’m 19 and on probation, and as part of my court order I have one year to earn my GED. Unfortunately, I’ve procrastinated pretty much the entire year, so now I have about 6 months left.
I know this is my responsibility, and I’m ready to stop putting it off. For anyone who’s earned their GED, is 6 months enough time if I stay consistent? How many hours a day or week did you study, and what helped you pass?
I’d appreciate any advice or study tips. Thanks.
i‘m 26 and trying to work on my GED but don’t know where or how to start. i use GED & me app but not sure if that’s where i can start. i don’t want to have to go to a place or do an online thing and have to do years of it. i had a hard life and didn’t graduate high school and dropped out i think my sophomore year if i remember correctly. also, how long will it take? i know it’s different for everyone.
Thank You GETSUM for helping me. I only messed up in social b ur rest are fine. Only 1 more to go
Essential ed can be do stupid sometimes, why can’t I get new practice test, I did 4 and I’m stuck on them! I’m not getting any new science practice test, I kept getting the same thing repetitive and it’s not like I’m taking the test over and over again smh
I understand yall don’t like my GED study/help guide for whatever reasons y’all may have but let’s not keep commenting negatively. My intentions was to make a guide and help those who need it esp New Yorkers. At least I made a guide and put it out there
😒😒

Hey all!
I have a TikTok account that I'd love to make HiSET/GED content for. What kind of content would be most helpful to you?
Math videos?
Practice test questions?
Testing tips?
Appreciate your feedback!
Thankful I never have to do this again. Thank you all for your kind words on my last post and the incredibly useful advice!
hey guys.
i passed my ged, woohoo! i did one month of studying for math before I started any test then after it was a breeze.
If you’re stuck on math watch all the light learning videos on youtube (that girl is the best).
you will do fine and all what’s good comes in time. (hang in there cat poster)
woo-hoo!

How important is the essay part cause i’m really worried about it and im currently studying for the essay part specifically right now but should i prioritise the multiple questions
I genuinely don't know what I'm doing, I've been using getsummath for every subject (and passed) up to this point. I love the guy, but all he does is show a problem, tell you how to solve *that* problem, and then move on to the next one, and none his playlist of math videos is SO unorganized (imo) that it makes me feel more lost and overwhelmed. I tried to find in person classes, but they're all very out of my budget range, I don't know what else to do, I'm so beyond mega terrible horrible awful at math (to the point I cry out of frustration everytime I've tried to study) and I just have no clue what to do, and being more lost than I usually am on math only makes me more frustrated and upset. I need something helpful and organized, but I don't know what has that that doesn't cost money :( Any help would be awesome, thank you in advance.
I'm looking for the best books for practice, as well as the best websites for tests and also youtube channels to help me score above 185.
I haven't taken the actual test yet, this is my first time taking practice tests. Math is my major hurdle because I have ADHD and I've struggled with it since forever. How long should I be studying math for before I go for the real test?
