More Information About the GED Math Test

The GED, or General Education Development exam, is broken into four separate tests, each focusing on a different subject area. The math test is generally considered the most challenging, while science, social studies, and reasoning through language arts are less daunting. To pass each separate test you need to score a 145 on a scale of 100 to 200, and you need a total combined score of 580 to pass the exam as a whole. Passing the GED grants you the equivalent of a high school diploma. You’re allowed to take the test more than once, but the total number of times is limited per year, so it’s important to pass the first or second time you take them, lest you find yourself having to wait to qualify again. The math test is the most frequently failed part of the exam, so make sure to prepare yourself as much as possible.

The math section of the GED covers concepts such as:

Arithmetic:

● whole numbers and fractions
● decimals and percents
● real-life problems

Algebra:

● integers and rational numbers
● algebraic expressions
● equations and inequalities

Geometry:

● two-dimensional figures
● three-dimensional figures
● coordinate geometry

How Important Is it That I Pass My GED Test?

If you don’t have a high school diploma, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. For example, if you want to attend college, you almost always need a diploma or its equivalent, which is what the GED provides. And a college degree is critical if you’re interested in improving your employment situation or advancing further in your career. Passing your GED is the first step on your road to improving yourself, expanding your job prospects, and increasing your salary. Show yourself that you have what it takes to realize your dreams by learning the math concepts on the GED. Your future depends on it!

I thought the test prep program was really beneficial, and I would definitely have not passed the ALEKS placement exam had I not done it as a refresher. I’m a college senior, and the most recent math class I’ve taken was calculus in early high school, I haven't seen some of these problems since 6th and 7th grade, literally almost ten years ago!The sections that were the most helpful for me were the geometry, algebra/polynomials, and the word problem sections. There were at least 2 questions on the ALEKS test that were almost word-for-word out of the mixture word problems section. Overall, very good.

I can’t describe how amazing this website is! Best explanations in the whole web! Definitely recommend this to everyone. If it weren’t for this, I would’ve never passed the hardest math test of my entire life.

The NCDAP went great! I graduated high school in 2007 and since then had taken no math courses. I was nervous about doing poorly on the placement test and having to pay additional money for remedial math courses. I tested some of the video tutorials and was really excited to see that they were painfully simple for people like me who are not good at math. I took the test and was pleased to see that all the topics from the test were covered by your website. I placed out of all developmental math, so I did not need to take any extra classes. I’ll be using your course again in the future when I plan to take the TEAS test. The most helpful elements were the simplicity and clarity of the explanations. In the past, I’ve had math teachers skip over some of the “simpler” steps in a problem which they considered more obvious. But your website made sure with each problem to explain all the steps thoroughly. I appreciated this aspect. Another part of your course I found helpful was that it focused on teaching one thing at a time. For my purposes, I can’t see how the course could be improved! It did exactly what I needed it to do.

Your lectures were very thorough and easy to follow. There was so much good material and practice for the ALEKS. If I ever need to again I’ll be using math help for a review to test out of a class! I’ll for sure let people know it’s worth it to use Mathhelp.

I took and passed the math TSI exam on my first attempt. I am a 35 year old that hasn’t used formulas, geometry, algebra or any other advanced math since high school. The TSI prep that y’all offered was better than any YouTube or practice test I had tried. I think you guys have got the best tool on the market. I used it as an all-around refresher and was able to have the confidence I needed to excel with the test. The way it was broken up into lessons, videos, practice and quizzes gives the student the ability to pick and choose exactly what they need help with.

I actually placed out of a couple math courses and saved myself 3 free credits! Honestly everything in your math placement test course was very helpful and there’s nothing in my opinion that needs improvement. Thanks.

My ALEKS test went well and I got into the math class I wanted to. I liked the videos that you can watch to help with the math problems, they were short enough that they kept my attention but also explained the problem so that I understood it! I personally loved everything about MathHelp.

The MathHelp site was a tremendous help to me! I found this site after failing the 1-6 NYSTCE math exam the first time I took it. I have been out of college for 20 years and needed a major refresher course on math before attempting it again. I passed both the Birth-2nd math test as well as the 1-6 math test the first time after going through the MathHelp site. I love that the course has the three elements of video instruction, practice questions and test questions. Thank you!

I signed my daughter up for your ALEKS test review with the hope that she would at least test in to the Pre-Calculus course that is required for her major. She just took the test two days ago at her orientation and, as it turns out, she did well enough to be exempted from all math classes at UGA! The course was very helpful and enabled her to eliminate the required math class, giving her a lighter class load as she gets used to being a new college student.

I just received my Accuplacer test scores and I placed 3 classes higher than what I needed to have. All of it was extremely helpful for the AccuPlacer and I really don't see how you can improve on the product considering how straight forward and to the point everything is. The only thing to consider is that the study material gives the basics of what you will see on the actual exam. You will be required to use your own logic, analysis and critical thinking to set up and understand when to use each formula or operation.

The CBEST test went well, as I received a scaled score of 66. Element wise, the videos were SUPER helpful. They were clear and to the point, and their short length made it very digestible. The practice questions were also awesome in that they had additional videos breaking them down if I was confused.

The ALEKS test went very well for my son, in large part due to your course. So much of the course was clearer than the actual teaching in school.

The Course Prep was real fine and it helped me ace the placement test, I got a 35/36. If it wouldn't have been for the MathHelp's Prep Course I wouldn't have been able to review the concepts as efficiently and accurately. I, therefore, want to thank you!!

I passed my NES test. This program was user friendly and a great resource. Most helpful were the linear equations, systems of linear equations, factorization, percents and geometry. I thought they were excellent. I would recommend your program to anyone taking the NES test.

It took the GRE for the second time yesterday and my math score improved. I loved the short videos and then the practice questions directly after. And then the section tests. It was all suuuuper helpful!

I got the highest score in my testing group by using this ACCUPLACER resource. I haven’t done most of this math in almost a decade, but I was able to relearn everything, practice, and test on it. I was extremely impressed with the effectiveness of this course.

TSI Gods! I am old or lets just say older. I haven't had to do a math exam in 22 years. I decided to enroll in college to improve my computer skills. The school counselor recommended I take a basic math class because the TSI would be too difficult for me. I decided to prove everyone wrong and look for help. I enrolled in MathHelp and it literally started me with 1+1. Well not literally but almost. By the time I made it to the end I felt like a math wiz! Everything made sense. I walked in to the TSI and took the most easiest math test. I was overly prepared if that is possible. I started tutoring others on math. I absolutely recommend this site. Of course, I only can talk from the TSI area. Good Luck!

We found this site while my son was studying for a placement test. He missed placing into 6th grade pre-algebra by a few points and didn’t want that to happen again. So he used your site to study. It had everything we needed from the whole curriculum. It was very helpful.

The math placement test went really well. I scored 39 out of 40. I am really grateful to the MathHelp Team for putting up such a great course. I loved the lessons as they were short and precise. Overall, it was an amazing course for reviewing the topics which I had forgotten.

The site was very helpful in brushing up on forgotten math skills and learning some I had never known. Having been out of school for over 20 years this is the one site I came across that was able to help me learn it. Your people went over it well, and the practice test after each lesson was good. I did well on my Accuplacer - I scored a 258 on the math portion which is enough to get me into mathematical reasoning. Thanks for you help. I wouldn’t change a thing.

I needed only a refresher from 30 plus years ago. I took the T.S.I. college level math entrance test cold at Lone Star College and failed pretty bad. The format with videos, practice questions, quiz's and chapter and a final test brought everything back and after using the program I tested again and passed with flying colors.

Baron Edmiston

Just passed the TSI. Your program was so helpful and reasonably priced, at that. The instructions were short and sweet, the practice rounds were helpful, and the tests appropriate to the given information. Thank you so much.

I passed the FTCE Math! The course was extremely helpful, especially the videos and the tests. I am very pleased with this course and have recommended it to several classmates that need to take the exam.

All of it was fantastic! It was perfectly presented and helped me tremendously on the ALEKS test. It was concise, logical and orderly. So much better than trying to read and teach myself. I graduated HS 30 years ago and needed to take the test to finish my degree.

Andrea West

Your math program was great! I only wish I had found it sooner. I had to prepare to take the NCDAP test and trigger my memory from skills that I learned over 30 years ago. I started out reviewing from a book that I bought. Then I tried another online program. I wasn't completely happy with their program and that's when I came across your website. I really wish I would have started with your program to begin with. I have to admit it was well worth it. I passed all 6 parts of the test! I would definitely recommend your website to others!

Wendy Kaegi

It was extremely helpful for the FTCE Elementary Math test! I loved it and it was very user friendly, especially with the videos to give me a step by step lesson on each topic to refresh my memory. Everything was really great about the whole site and lessons.

The TSI Math course was fabulous! I have recommended it to many of my friends! My daughter took the whole TSI math course and passed the TSI on the next administration. The videos are obviously extremely helpful, but I love the practice questions to check for understanding before you take the test. I just wish you offered one for TSI Reading!

Stephanie Quarles

16:47 08 Apr 19

I took my FTCE test Friday and passed! This course helped me a LOT. I never had math explained in such a simple manner. I recommended this site to a friend who has failed this test already a couple of times. I felt more prepared for a test than ever before with using this course.

Jen Bilton

23:10 02 Apr 19

My Score on the Accuplacer QAS was 275 or 285. I can’t remember. The actual test was more difficult than your study material. That doesn’t mean this wasn’t a tremendous help. Your materials covered the majority of the content on the exam. I would have certainly failed if I didn’t use Mathhelp.

Ashley Haar

01:54 02 Apr 19

The CSET and CBEST test practice were very helpful. I love the video tutoring format. The test practice was helpful especially on the math I had forgotten since high school - I’m now 54! I've told everyone I know about your website because it was a Godsend for me. Thank you for what you do.

Joan Sandoval

16:48 24 Mar 19

I needed to take the Accuplacer placement test as an adult going back to college long after high school and it was a great refresher for me! Overall it worked really well for what I needed, would recommend to anyone - thanks!

Betsy Larson

16:07 22 Mar 19

I cannot tell you how helpful MathHelp was - not only in preparing me for the TSI test but allowing me to re-learn high school algebra in preparation for college. Because of your course, I gained a base of understanding that has been invaluable. Thank you for creating such a well designed program.

My ACCUPLACER test went well enough to pass, as I had some real cramming to do after being inactive in mathematics for quite some time. The detailed lessons were immensely helpful in their entirety. The videos allowed me to go back and go over and over a really get it right. I have since started college and will likely use the math courses again.Thank you for this service it was a big help.

My MTLE math test went great. I'm pretty sure that if I had not used MathHelp I would not have passed. It was a great review tool for me. I tried just starting at the beginning and working through everything on there, but I ran out of time to study so I changed tactics and did the final exam to see where I needed the most help.

Michelle Cagle

16:25 17 Jan 19

Every part of math help was useful. It is not overwhelming like a lot of the free sites, and it allows you to go back and review if needed. I went through the mathhelp course twice and passed my FTCE test. And I had not done math in 25 years. Thank you for a great resource. It was worth every penny.

Liv Sorli

00:07 16 Jan 19

I took the FTCE math test for the third time today and passed! The only difference this time was that I used your course to help me study! I loved it. I am not a mathematical person, I never have been, but with the videos, practice questions, and quizzes, I really felt more comfortable going into the exam!

Melissa K

19:12 05 Jan 19

My test went perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results. I enjoyed the content very much. It was imperative that I pass that test and your service + my hard work ensured my success. I will use your service again in the future (if I ever have future math needs) I am so glad this is available as I don't think I would have been as successful without it.

I began the ACCUPLACER math review being 10 years out of high school, with that being the last time I took any math course. I was literally starting from scratch and didn’t remember anything. I’m beginning my journey back to school and going off of my ACT score I was placed in beginners math! I always struggled in math and by taking this review it helped me test out of the college algebra completely. I now do not have to take any math classes for my degree, which saved me time and money! I highly recommend this program. I love the videos of instruction, the practice questions and the tests. I cannot say enough good things about this review. I learned more from it then I did all through high school!

Emily Edlund

14:50 10 Dec 18

The West-B test went very well and I passed. I felt that MathHelp highly contributed to that as I was able to get a ton of practice and quality instruction from the teachers on MathHelp. I think the way the program is set up is very helpful and don’t have anything negative to say about it. Thank you for all you guys do!

The ACCUPLACER math test went great!!! I have been out of school for 30 years and had not worked on algebra at all 🙁 I really did not want to start at the bottom with all of the math classes. After working the online course for 1 week I was able to skip 4 classes and just have to take one class lower than my pre-requisite for my medical classes 🙂 The whole program the way you have it set up is perfect for me!! I love that you can watch the demos then practice and then finally test. You have an amazing program that was a huge help to me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I took the Accuplacer test originally a year ago and scored a 34 in Accuplacer elementary algebra, not even making it to the college math test. After studying for less than a month with Mathhelp I score a 60 in Accuplacer college math and was able to test into my college math class bypassing remedial classes and saving me wasted time and money. Although I took trigonometry and calculus in high school, that was in 2001, so these modules were a refresher for me. But they were a huge help and cant say thank you enough.The biggest help for me was the instant feedback on quizzes showing my mistakes in my work. I don't feel there was much to be improved, it helped me tremendously and I enjoyed the course.
