To best simulate GED test taking conditions, go somewhere quiet where you won't be disturbed.
One choice that you'll have to make is whether or not to time yourself during the practice test. There are two cases when you might be better off taking the test without a timer.
The first case is if you're just starting your GED math studying. If you're still building up your GED math foundation, then I suggest taking the test without a timer. In the early stages of their studying, most test takers say it's helpful just to focus on solving the problems without a time pressure.
The second case in which I suggest not timing yourself is if you're especially pressed for time. For example, if your work schedule is outrageous and/or you've got a lot going on in your life and don't have about an hour to sit and take a practice test, then it might work better for you to break the test up into several sessions.
Do whatever works for you!
If you've already got a good start on your GED math studying, then go ahead and take the practice test with a timer on. Set the timer for 57 minutes.
Right now you might be thinking, why 57 minutes? On the the real GED test, you'll have 115 minutes to answer 46 questions. This practice test is half the length of the real test, and 57 minutes is about half the length of the real test. So this will help you recreate the feeling of test taking conditions.
What to do if you get stuck on a GED math practice test question
Unless you're a total math whiz, you're bound to come across problems that you aren't sure how to do. And that's okay! It's called practice for a reason.
It's not about how many questions you get right during practice. It's about how many questions you learn from. And that means that you should NEVER beat yourself down when you aren't sure how to do a math problem.
A big part of learning math is trying problems, getting stuck, and then figuring out how to get unstuck. When you do get stuck on GED math problems either during practice or on your test, here's are some simple questions you can ask yourself to try to get unstuck.
- What is the question asking me to figure out?
- Have I used all of the information given to me?
- Have I ever solved a problem like this before?
- What do I need to know to get to the next step of the problem?
- Is there a formula I can use to solve this?
Sometimes, completely re-thinking how you're trying to solve the problem works as well. Try to approach the problem in a totally different way. You never know! You just might crack the code.
Reviewing your GED math practice test
After you take your GED math practice test, reviewing your mistakes is crucial!
For best results, circle each problem that you got wrong, didn't know how to do, or got right, but were confused about.
The first place you can turn for help is to check out the YouTube video I made that walks you through how to solve each practice problem. You'll find it at the top of this page 🙂
If you're still a little shaky on any topics after you watch the video, then it's a great idea to review the topics you had trouble with, NOT just the problems. For example, let's say you got stuck on a problem that involved mean, median, mode, and range.
It will be well worth the effort to go back into your prep books and notes, or check out my other math videos on my YouTube channel to make sure you understand the entire topic.
And then you won't have to worry about losing points on similar questions on your test.
