What I would do is get a Kaplan or Steck Vaughn book from your library. (I’ll link those at the end) As long as the publication date is after 2014, you are good. The only difference is that they lowered the score from 150 to 145 and they did away with the Science essay. The Kaplan book is large, like over 1,000 pages large, but has everything that you will possibly need to know for all four tests. They also contain practice tests that can give you a general idea of what you are still missing. I say possibly because not all tests are the same (content wise) or some minute part may change from test to test. For that, just follow this sub and you could get a pretty good idea of what maybe on it.

Website wise, I suggest Kahn Academy. It’s free and has videos and other tutorials for what you may not understand. Also, this sub is great for posting a question, especially math, and getting a pretty doll good answer. I do a lot of the answering for math fairly regularly. (I will show everything if wanted. By everything I mean 1+1=2)

Steck Vaughn

Hey, I feel you. I have really bad (and professionally diagnosed) PTSD and anxiety with severe panic attacks from a terrible childhood. Your spelling is sharp for sure, you're already a lot of the way there! I just took the Language Arts, Social Studies and Science on Monday and I never studied for them. I literally booked the test online, went in 2 days later and got College Ready scores on all 3. It's mainly just reading comprehension and the essay is easy once you learn the parameters.

The best book I can recommend is the huge Kaplan GED book. You can get it on Amazon for under $20. It has pretty much all you need from the ground up. Combine this with Khan Academy, Youtube, Saylor Academy, Purple Math, The Math Dude, and other free online resources and you'll be ready in no time flat. In addition, there are some great paid resources as well such as The Great Courses Plus and Study.Com.

The most important thing is (and I struggle with this!) to remind yourself that it's going to take some time. Try to accept that early on and just go with the flow from there. Read up on the "Pomodoro Technique". It sounds funny but holy hell it works and works well!

I'm studying for the Math test currently. It was the only one I didn't take yet and that's because I haven't been in a math class for 22 years!

Good luck!

I dont have PDF versions, I use libera reader

The book is in ebook format so any book reader would work, just search on the app store in your device.

>I messaged you.

Sorry, I don't use the official app so I dont really see chats.

Yes, this, 100%. It's this calculator.

And if you have an Android phone, you can download this free emulator, which they won't let you take into the test (no phones, obviously), but you can use to practice with.

I got a little lap desk that I put on my bed for my laptop and haven't had any problems for the two tests I've taken so far.

My desk is similar to this : Amazon Basics Adjustable Laptop Tray Table - Lap Desk Fits up to 17-Inch Laptop - Medium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MM4SKHM/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_Y0CS369ETQGNJ0QB4AEZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

My advice would be to follow the checklist, and just focus on working through one or two topics every day. Don't put pressure on yourself to cover it all at once, and don't feel like you have it "mastered" after one study session. A little bit at a time, every day. People seem to like the Light and Salt videos, and Khan Academy has a ton of good videos on these subjects as well. If you are looking for short lessons and practice tests on these subjects, we have a free GED Math app (iPhone and Android) with thousands of questions. Good luck!

Here's an example...

Thanks for responding, but there's like thousands if not millons of apps named ''GED''. Are you reffering to this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abc.gedtest&hl=en&gl=US

Sorry to hear that. I myself am studying all subjects but math since (I passed my regents) take the tasc test. I’m using study.com right now, so I’m hoping the questions on there would be identical to test day questions. Btw is the tasc book you recommended https://www.amazon.com/TASC-Prep-Practice-Proven-Strategies/dp/1506263100 or is there a more updated one?

I recommend this book. If you study it, you’ll pass it. The Science & Social studies is reading comprehension. Same with language arts. I studied a bit more for math.

Ah. Did you get distracted a lot before, you take a test in school? (Lawn equipment,sprinklers,or other loud sounds.) This book helped me a lot with the math ged test. This book shows how to break down the math problem. Don't be under a lot of stress. Breathe.

Don't give up.

One, make flash cards for the subject. Two, study those flash cards three to four times a night for this subject. Three, do a couple of practices works from the ged workbooks;everyday. Four, when you pass your next practice test put the official test 2 to 3 weeks away from the practice test date. Five, Do the practice work sheets again. Six, Stay stress free for a whole entire week before, you take the ged math exam. Seven, Stay calm. Eight, breathe.

The link below that I post. This book helped me a lot before, I took my math ged test. This book is also at barnes and noble too.

Try this app: Ged Practice Test Free 2020. It works for me with various questions and detailed explanations. Hope it's useful for u :D

As a teacher, I slightly prefer Steck Vaughn. There is the Complete book with all subjects or individual student books and workbooks (WB has way more practice) if you need more practice for a particular subject. https://www.amazon.com/Steck-Vaughn-GED-Preparation-Mathematical-Reasoning/dp/0544274342

Online, I second Khan Academy or KET Fast Forward.

The Kaplan GED Test Prep Plus book is hands down THE best book for you, in my opinion. Very thorough, very extensive, and very quick to finish overall. You can buy it on amazon! It’s cheap for everything it offers. GED

If you want more focused problems than Khan Academy, I'd suggest getting a book from Amazon. This one has lots of challenging math problems: https://www.amazon.com/Steck-Vaughn-GED-Preparation-Mathematical-Reasoning/dp/0544274342/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=steck+vaughn+ged+math&qid=1583807274&sr=8-6

I have less experience with the HiSET than GED. Most of the large all in one study guides are a good overview, but will not give a lot of practice. I think these Steck-Vaughn books are good. There is a student book and a separate workbook. They offer challenging problems, but not a lot in the way of explanation. You good look up topics on Khan Academy to get some relevant explanation. https://www.amazon.com/Steck-Vaughn-GED-Preparation-Mathematical-Reasoning/dp/0544274245/ref=sr_1_3?crid=FQTNN9H2XFVV&keywords=ged+steck+vaughn+math&qid=1571753084&sprefix=ged+steck%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-3

I use Kaplan usually. https://www.amazon.com/GED-Test-Prep-Plus-2019/dp/1506239439 There is also Barron https://www.amazon.com/Prepare-Test-Barrons-Book-Only/dp/1438007973/ And I am sure Amazon has quite a few other options, but those tend to be the most reputable.

I passed the TASC Test and I used Kaplan's 2017-2018 TASC Study Guide prior to taking the exam.

Math and Science were my two biggest worries as well but it was a lot easier than I expected. There were some nerves but it's good to have SOME as my therapist told me (I have anxiety).

https://www.amazon.com/McGraw-Hill-Education-Preparation-GED-Test/dp/0071847200

Weighted averages, graphs, foil, finding out if something is a function or not, equation word problems, inequality word problems, geometry word problems, mean, median, mode, range, finding the slope of a graph, finding the equation of a graph, quadratic equations, simplifying equations. There's more but I took my math two months ago.

Also use OpenWindowLearning on YouTube.
