What Is On The GED Math Test

In this episode, we discuss key information about the GED Math test and strategies for successfully completing it. We highlight the test structure, content areas, preparation strategies, and general tips for success.

We explain how the GED Mathematical Reasoning sub-exam assesses your ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios. It comprises two sections: one without a calculator and one with the TI-30XS scientific calculator.

The GED Math test covers four main areas:

Basic Math: Arithmetic operations with whole numbers, rational numbers, decimals, fractions, and percentages.

Geometry: Using formulas to calculate properties of shapes and objects (surface area, volume, radius, diameter, etc.) based on provided drawings.

Algebra: Determining variable values in equations and formulating equations from word problems.

Graphs and Functions: Analyzing data presented in graphs and charts, understanding data organization, and applying concepts like median, mean, mode, range, probability, and statistics.

Passing the GED Math test requires a solid understanding of core mathematical concepts, strategic preparation, and familiarity with the test format and calculator. Utilizing available resources and focusing on individual areas of improvement will significantly increase your chances of success.
