Do I Need to Study for the Tests?

Many private companies offer GED preparatory courses. You do NOT need to take a class or course to be eligible to write the GED tests.

The basic premise behind the GED Testing Service is that learning is a continual process and the GED tests offer an opportunity for adults to demonstrate the learning they have accomplished since leaving school. The tests are designed to measure your ability to understand and reason rather than test you on facts. Many people have found it helpful to enroll in a course or borrow library materials to refresh their test taking skills.
