There was so much on there i didnt know nor did i review. I remember i was told that there would be only fractions decimals and percentages. Soon as i took the test the instructors obviously were wrong. Now i took the 2002 based GED math portion and i got other subject to to take as well. However i got the hardest part out of the way cause i know i SUCK at math. It felt as if i knew i was gonna fail when i tried to answer the first few questions. I even thought i was sweating. Once i got the results i shocked myself. Thinkin that instead of failing the test with flying colors i passed it. All in all just review graphs fractions decimals and most importantly word problems and you will do fine.

i'm 21 years old, dropped out of high school my sophomore year. I first took the whole GED test in April 2011 i passed everything but the math section, i knew i wasn't going to do good because i barley studied and i have always had problems with math 2nd time i took the math i studied still didn't pass then the 3rd time i actually got a tutor and still didn't pass! everytime i take it the score gets higher, a week ago i got a letter in the mail from the testing center saying they are retiring the test i took in December 2013 if i don't pass the math section by then i will have to retake the WHOLE test again.. i already took the test once this year so it leaves me with two more tries ugh it's so frustrating but i will not give up. i feel SO much better knowing im not the only one having this issue.

I have to retake the math portion of the GED test today. the last time I scored 360 I'm really hopeful I pass this time after being out of school for twenty-five years,I passed all other courses with little prep time. The same as now because of my schedule however faith wothout works is dead. So I've been awak for quiet a few hours giving myself crash courses over the basics. Keep me uplifted in favor of our Lord and saviour. Thanks in advance!!!
