    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. College Ready (165–174)

    170 falls in the College Ready range of 165 to 174. It is also above the 145 needed to pass.

  8. Question 8 sur 16

    Is there a penalty for a wrong answer on the GED Math test?
    Voir la réponse

    Only correct answers count toward your score, and there is no penalty for guessing. So answer every question and never leave one blank.

  9. Question 9 sur 16

    What does the answer toggle key on the TI-30XS calculator do?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Switches between fraction and decimal forms

    The calculator reference sheet shows that the toggle key switches between fraction and decimal, exact root and decimal, and exact π and decimal forms.

  10. Question 10 sur 16

    You type 6 + 4 × 3 into the TI-30XS. What answer does it show?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. 18

    The TI-30XS follows the standard order of operations, so it multiplies first: 4 × 3 = 12, then 6 + 12 = 18.

  11. Question 11 sur 16

    A Part 1 question asks you to put 0.7, 2/3 and 3/5 in order without a calculator. What is a good first step?
    Voir la réponse

    To compare fractions and decimals, change them to the same form first: 0.7, about 0.667 and 0.6.

  12. Question 12 sur 16

    You want to take the GED Math test online. What must you do first?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. Score “green” on the GED Ready Math practice test within the last 60 days

    For each subject you test online, you need a “green” GED Ready result from the last 60 days.

  13. Question 13 sur 16

    Can you use a physical calculator or scratch paper on the online GED test?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. No, only onscreen tools are allowed

    Online testers cannot use a physical calculator or scratch paper. An onscreen calculator, scratch pad and whiteboard are given instead.

  14. Question 14 sur 16

    A shopper buys items for $19.89, $30.15 and $49.95. Which estimate is best for checking the exact total?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. About $100

    Round each price: $20 + $30 + $50 = $100. The exact total, $99.99, is close, so it is reasonable.

  15. Question 15 sur 16

    Maria works 32 hours a week at $15.50 an hour and drives 12 miles to work. Which number is NOT needed to find her weekly pay?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. 12 miles

    Weekly pay = hours × hourly rate = 32 × $15.50. The driving distance is extra information.

  16. Question 16 sur 16

    You find that a 12-foot board cut into 4 equal pieces gives pieces 48 feet long. What should you do?
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Recheck it: each piece must be under 12 feet

    Pieces of a board must be shorter than the board. You multiplied instead of dividing: 12 ÷ 4 = 3 feet.

Questions fréquentes

Is this the official GED Math test?

No. This is an independent practice course. It is not run by GED Testing Service, and your scores here are not GED® results.

What does the certificate from this course show?

The certificate of completion shows that you finished this practice course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a GED® credential, not a high school equivalency and not an official score, so schools and employers will not accept it in place of the GED®.

Why is the pass mark 80% here when the GED needs 145?

The GED uses a score scale where 145 is the passing score on each subject; it is not a percent. We set a high bar of 80% so that a pass here is a good sign you are ready.

Can I use a calculator on the GED Math test?

Only on Part 2. It has an onscreen TI-30XS calculator, and at a test center you may bring your own TI-30XS. On the online test you cannot use a physical calculator. Practice Part 1 skills by hand.

Is the GED for people in Canada?

This course is about the US GED® test. In Canada, the Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) replaced the GED® in 2024, so Canadian adults should prepare for the CAEC instead.

How do I sign up for the GED Math test?

Create an account on ged.com, then choose a test center or online testing, pick your subjects, a date and a time, and pay online. Prices and rules depend on your state.

L’attestation est-elle accréditée ou reconnue officiellement ?

Non. C’est une attestation de réussite privée, uniquement pour vos connaissances. Elle n’est reconnue, accréditée ni approuvée par aucun gouvernement, organisme de délivrance des permis, autorité de réglementation ou établissement d’enseignement, et elle ne remplace aucun permis, aucune certification ni aucune formation exigés par la loi.
