How long and how hard is the GED?

I took the GED practice test and did pretty well. Some how I managed to get exactly 2 questions wrong on each section (out of like 50 questions or whatever for each subject. But I hate taking tests and stuff, and I’m assuming the GED is going to take me a a long time to take and stuff, and I’m afraid I’ll suck at it or something.

So I guess what I want to know is how many questions are there, about how long does it take to take it, and if I did that well on the practice test can I expect to do about the same on the real thing or is it harder or something?

Answer #1

Hi,

The practice tests are usually pretty indicative of how you’re doing with your studies. I think only getting a couple of questions wrong is quite good, but I wouldn’t get too relaxed. Keep studying until you are taking it!

The times for each GED part are as follows:

Language Arts, Writing Test: 2 hours The Social Studies Test is 85 minutes in length. The Science Test is 80 minutes in length The Language Arts, Reading Test is 65 minutes in length The Mathematics Test is 90 minutes in length

Good luck.
