How this test is scored
Your raw score is converted to the 100-200 scale used on the official GED. A 145 is the passing line in every state that administers the GED test. Anything at or above 165 is reported as College Ready, and 175 or above can carry college credit. Treat a first-attempt score in the 130s as normal rather than discouraging — it tells you which topic drill to open next.
Because this set is 30 questions rather than the full 46, use the result as a direction indicator, not a prediction. Consistency across two or three attempts is a far better signal than any single score.
Pacing on the real exam
One hundred fifteen minutes for roughly 46 questions works out to about two and a half minutes each. Most test takers do not run out of time because the questions are long; they run out because they refuse to leave a hard question. Flag it, move on, and come back. An unanswered easy question at the end of the test costs exactly as much as a hard one you never solved.
The first five questions come before the calculator is available. They are deliberately arithmetic-friendly — fractions, order of operations, simple exponents — so practice those by hand rather than reaching for a phone.
