Mathematical Reasoning
GED Math Practice Test 4
Forty new multiple-choice questions, none repeated from earlier tests. This set leans on skills that are easy to skip in review: polynomial arithmetic, unit conversions, surface area, scale drawings, dot plots, and histograms. The page below shows how to turn your result into a short, specific study plan.
Question 1 of 40
0 answered
A plumber charges a $65 service fee plus $48 for each hour of work. A customer’s bill was $281. How many hours did the plumber work?
Review every miss by its cause
When you finish, do not just read the correct answers. For each question you missed or guessed on, write down why it went wrong, using one of three labels: a careless slip (a sign error or a misread number), a misread question (you answered for the width when it asked for the length), or a concept gap (you did not know how to start). Each label calls for a different fix.
Careless slips shrink when you check each answer against the question before moving on. Misread questions shrink when you underline what is being asked. Concept gaps are the only ones that need new study, and they are where your next hour of practice should go.
Turn the result into a plan
Sort your concept gaps by topic. If most of them sit in one area, open that topic’s study guide, work through its examples, and then do the topic drill questions before you try another full test. Two or three focused sessions on one weak area usually move a score more than another full test taken right away.
Keep a short list of the questions you missed and try them again in a few days without looking at the explanation. If you can solve them cold, the gap is closed. If not, read the explanation once more and write out the steps in your own words.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I retake Practice Test 4 right after reviewing it?
- Not right away. A quick retake mostly measures memory. Study your weak topics first, then use a test you have not taken yet as your next check, and come back to this one later.
- What counts as a guess when I review my answers?
- Any question where you were not sure, even if you got it right. Mark those during the test and review them like misses, because a lucky guess does not mean the skill is there.
