You could check out a GED study guide at your local library. There are also free online courses for the GED. Free-ed.net requires only an e-mail address to enroll. For more information on free resources available to help you prepare, look at How to Take the GED: http://www.squidoo.com/ged-websites

Everett Said:

can anyone recommend a good GED study guide?

We Answered:

I'd recommend you go back to high school and get a diploma. A GED is not looked upon as being equal to a diploma when employers are considering canidates. In fact many employers either have offical or non-offical policies in which they will only hire high school graduates.

This is completely wrong. Most applications no longer even have a separate checkbox for GED applicants and high school graduates, and if a student goes on to any sort of college no employer will even ask about their high school education period. It simply doesn’t matter in the slightest anymore, will matter even less in the future, and wasting four years of one’s life mired in the anti-social cliques and propaganda of high school is a foolish thing to recommend.

My situation back in high school sounds pretty similar to yours, sick seed—except I was far more likely to get beat up than to beat someone up, and I left school voluntarily; however the fundamental dissatisfaction and incompatibility with public schools is the same in both of our cases, and for my own part of I had remained in public school it would have done me nothing but harm. Getting my GED was the best decision I have ever made, and not only has it not hindered my employment, it has actually allowed me to develop an independence basis of knowledge that is far greater than what I could have ever received elsewhere.

As for books on the GED—there are a myriad of titles that should be available at your public library or barring that your testing center. Talk to the people there to see which is the best book to use, and the best way to study. Having done some work in a testing center, I can tell you that they usually don’t have a lot to do and will usually be very obliging to people seeking information. But in truth they will probably tell you just to go to Barnes and noble and pick out any old book on the GED—they are all pretty much the same, and are sold at very low cost. Any random text will prepare you wonderfully for the test, and although I did not actively study for the GED I have used them with other tests to good effect.

My advice to you, however, is to just go out and read actual books about all fo the subjects covered in the GED; you don’t learn history from Kaplan or Barron’s—you learn it by actually studying books about history. You don’t learn to write in a test book either—you learn by actually writing things. It is the same with any of the subjects. Reading is a far more efficient way of gleaning information than listening, and anything that is said in your class was first written down—and probably in more coherent form—before your teacher spoke it in class.

If you are worried about math but are strong in the rest of the subjects—just do as you were planning and take classes at a community college. You do not need a GED to attend community college, and they offer classes in math for virtually any level of skill. And even if you aren’t worried about math—enroll today anyway for the summer semester and get a start on college. Start out slow, probably only 6 credits this summer and nine in the fall, and work your way up to the accepted workload of 15 credits. College is a drastically different atmosphere from high school, but I think you will like it better.

Best of luck and stay in school—just not the one you were going to before. :D

GED -Study Guides: Which is the best book to buy to use as a sturdy guide for the exam?

We Answered:

I taught GED students. To be honest, any series will do. You have to know how to write an essay and actually answer the questions with detail and stay on topic; you need to know how to interpret graphs for Social Studies, Math and Science; you have to know some American History and geography; know math from basic addition thru Alegebra 1 and Geometry; and familiarize yourself with cause and effect for science and understand what yo uare reading.

I used anything from Steck-vaughn and New Readers Press.

Go to www.math.com and get a refresher on your math.

Good luck!
