| The
Tests
The GED Tests measure your knowledge and academic
skills against those of today’s traditional
high school graduates. The tests measure knowledge
in five different areas: language arts, writing; social
studies; science; language arts, reading; and mathematics.
An important feature of the GED Tests is an essay
that documents your ability to write and communicate
effectively.
