hey everyone. im taking my ged test on June 10th and the 11th. I'm really nervous about the math and science. I'm really good at the other parts though. I could honestly cry right now because I'm so scared. I'm trying to do the best that I possibly can. I got the job so I could help out with bills and pay for my ged and the nursing school I want to attend. I just don't want to fail which I know nobody does.

I've took my GED in NYC it was new to me back then. Now 12 years later I only need 10 points an now I am not sure. I mean I am ready to have it so bad. I get so nervous an scared I've try this year in S.C 4 times an I have about 1 more I don't know why I have jitter is it that its a timed test just study an keep trying. Pray for me I am going to take another stab at it again on May 24th before the graduation on the 30th of May. Day an night class will be a challenge when there only 9 more days on school. What can I do? I going to try hard. Just be confident an have something or someone to be your motivation my children are mine so don't give up. I was embarrassed at 27yrs going to adult education class to review. I know now that having a GED is the only papers to guarantee u that ur life will change!

I dropped out of school at age 16, due to being teased, & illness. Later in my life. I enrolled in college where I could earn my GED while I take college courses. I took the GED a total of 9 time. Each time I failed I wanted give up and turn to the dark side. My scores are (w 460), (ss 460), (s 430), (r 470), & (m 390) just not enough to pass. I prayed to my Heavenly Father for help every time but I still didn't pass. So 1 day my huaband looked @ my GED book & it was outdated, 2003 version. He was very angry that a college would let me study old, outdated material. So he brought my a math only book called: GED Skill Builder: Math by Leaning Express. This book help me out so much, I studied 5 days a week for 2-3 hrs max. And on May 1, 2013 I took the only part I wanted to take without another subject. I passed with a score of 440 in math and average of 452. My advice to you is to grab this book and study, never give up you can do it. I did oh & on test day we had group prayer,whichhel

I've been trying to get my GED for almost 2 Years now and I am finally so close, I can taste it!!! lol. Friends Don't give up!! My first test, I scored a 410 in Writing, 390 Social studies, 440 Reading, 490 Math (the subject I studied the most) and Science 420. My main focus was on Math which is why I didn't score so Well on the other subjects. But my average score came out to 2150 so I failed and needed 100 points.. so my next focus was Social Studies. I recently re-took the SS test, studied a few days before and got a 450!! Thats because time ran out I didn't get to finish. So now I am only short 40 points. I decided to Re-take the Reading test.. all I need is a 480 and I will finally be done!!!!! My advice to GED takers is STUDY!! The Library is Free and they have different GED books with Pre tests!!! Please Don't give up and wish me luck as I wish you luck!!!!

I took the GED for the 1st time at the end of March, I passed everything but Math. I scored 2260 and my battery score was passing. But I had scored a 370 on the Math, therefore I didn't pass. I decided not to put it off and try again this month...actually on April 25, 2013. Well I passed the Math with 110 points more than before so i scored a 480. I was over the moon. Please don"t give up any of you. I am terrible at math and I was scared. I bought two Ged math books and did the practice test and studied really hard. I felt like I would never pass it for some reason. But I did. I have been out of school for 15 years and I didn't got for GED classes. So do not give up and good luck to all of you!
