Comparing your Test 1 and Test 2 scores

Because the two sets cover the same three skill areas with different questions, a consistent score across both is strong evidence you are ready. A large swing in either direction is worth investigating: check whether the same skill area caused most of your errors both times.

Scores report on the 100-200 GED scale, where 145 passes.

Return to the passage on every reading question

On every reading question, the correct answer is defensible with a specific line of text. If you cannot point to that line, return and look again before choosing. The most common wrong answer is a statement that sounds reasonable but is not stated or implied in the passage.

For grammar items embedded in a passage, read the full sentence in context before evaluating the underlined portion. A choice that looks correct in isolation can create a tense or agreement error once the surrounding sentences are factored in.
