This guide was very helpful in getting my GED. It starts from the most basic concepts to review and builds up to more complicated topics. Some of the lessons may seem too easy, but it's very helpful to review, as I found out later. I got to graduate a year and a half early, and I know this book played a big part in it.
Would recommend it to those who are trying to get their GED. If you are going for it, then I suggest you start this book as early as possible, or at least 3 to 4 months before taking the test. My brother started on it a year early and kept going over and over it so as to get the lessons drilled in his head. Also, take as many practice tests as possible. This book comes with many short tests but only one full-length test, so find free tests online—familiarize yourself with the format.
I did a lesson or two from each subject every day, 5 days a week. Sometimes I went over the same lessons two days in a row or focused more on one subject and took a break from other subjects. It was a good pace for me, but everyone's different, so find a nice rhythm for yourself. Set a study schedule for yourself, stick to it, and you'll pass!
If you only have a few weeks before the test, don't worry! This book is also helpful when you're trying to quickly go over difficult concepts or things you forget. I flipped through the book the week before the test to remind myself of the skills I wasn't very good at, and it helped.
Last of all, have confidence in yourself! I know it's easy to get worried or panic or think you won't pass, but it'll be okay! I slaved over studying for the GED, but when I finally took it, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. As long as you have determination, study hard, and know the basic things that high school students should know, you'll do great!
I hope you all the best on your GED! If I can do it, so can you! God bless!
