is the ged math test difficult?

Answer 1

The difficulty depends on your math background.

Most of the math portion of the GED involves basic math and doesn't go above geometry. The following areas are on the test:

1 Whole Numbers
2 Word Problems
3 Decimals
4 Fractions
5 Ratio and Proportion
6 Percent
7 Measurement
8 Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability
9 Basic Geometry
10 The Basics of Algebra

You may want to take a sample test at http://www.docnmail.com/tests/highschool/ged.htm to find out if you are ready.

Answer 2

In a nut shell, practice trig and algebra word problems until they are no challenge. Move to harder word problems. Solve the problems both graphically with pictures and numerically. Be sure you draw out your problem on paper properly. That doesn't mean it has to be the same way someone else is thinking of it, just so that it's correct and makes sense to you.

Know that a true mathematician will constantly develop new ways and symbols to portray a problem or solution at hand.
For now though stick with the basics and strive to solve systems of two equations word problems and basic trig word problems because that's as high as the test goes.

Answer 3

depends, if you are the kind of person making A's and B's in algebra I then you'll be OK! If not, there is a GED tutorial book in every single library, study that!

Answer 4

Not if you know your math. I took it several years ago, without studting, and got a 96 percentile. You may not do that good. I'm a math whiz.

Answer 5

It depends directly on your mathematics ability.

Answer 6

nope. I'm pretty sure I could have passed it as a 6th grader.

Answer 7

No, not at all
