Practice Tests to Prepare for the GED
As with any exam, it is absolutely necessary that you practice in a maximum reality environment if you want to get a good result. To reach your GED goals you will need to take practice tests of all 4 tests. In this article we will explain where to get them and how to use them.
It is important that as a GED candidate, you understand that you are not going to get a good result just by practicing with tests. The practice of real simulations is necessary, but a good preparation will require many more elements that guarantee your objective grade.

Where Can I Get GED Practice Tests?
On the official GED website you have 4 practice tests posted so that you know what you can find on the day of the test. However, it is a teaser, that is, you will simply be able to access 25% of the total of each of the 4 tests.
In addition to the free exam option, you can also purchase an exam for $6.99. On average, a student may require content that appears in 8/10 exams to practice. These numbers have to be multiplied by 4 so, in practice content alone, the cost is close to $300.

How to Use GED Practice Tests in Your Preparation?
GED practice tests can be used in many ways. From EPIC we recommend that you use them:
- During your preparation process for each of the tests, you can use the content of the GED practice tests to see your progress in the assimilation of the concepts. In this case, practice exams are substitutes for other types of exercises. This strategy will help you understand if you are consolidating what you are studying. To be able to do this you will need quite a few practice tests.
- Once, never before, you have consolidated all the concepts you need to take the GED test, it will be time for you to put the work done to the test. In this phase you can complete the entirety of an exam. This is going to be a phase in which you will have to use the feedback from the exam to go back in your preparation and reinforce those knowledge that you are not yet clear about. This is an iterative phase. Don’t worry if you still don’t get the score you want.
- Now that you have the concepts clear, the moment of truth has arrived. It’s important to know whether or not you’re ready before you take the test for real. To do this, we recommend that you simulate the moment of the exam with the utmost veracity. The two important variables are time and not consulting external elements. Take as many exams as you need until you get the grade you have set as your goal.
Conclusions
The GED is a comprehensive test. Remember that it is equivalent to a high school diploma in the USA. It is not a good option to face it as if it were a driver’s license or similar exams. In other words, mere practice will not guarantee that you will get the results you set for yourself. GED preparation combines theory and practice. The master’s degree consists of knowing how to organize the mix of both to create a work plan and, once implemented, knowing how to adapt it according to the evolution of the candidate.
