Is Practice Test 2 harder than Practice Test 1?

The two sets are written at the same difficulty level. Score differences between attempts usually reflect familiarity with specific content rather than question difficulty.

Can I take both practice tests before my real test?

Yes. A consistent score across both tests is stronger evidence of readiness than a single result.

Using Practice Test 2 alongside Practice Test 1

Practice Test 1 and Practice Test 2 draw from separate question pools, so your score on both gives a broader picture of your readiness than either alone. If Test 1 identified a weak topic, Test 2 lets you check whether that gap is closing.

Your raw score maps to the 100-200 GED scale, where 145 passes. A 165 is College Ready, and 175 or higher can carry college credit at participating schools.

Pacing on the real GED math test

One hundred fifteen minutes for roughly 46 questions is about two and a half minutes each. If a question is not moving, flag it and keep going — questions left blank cost the same as hard ones you never solved.

The first five questions come before the on-screen calculator is available. Practice those by hand: fractions, order of operations, and simple exponents.
