Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

GED Tutoring at Enhanced Prep

The 115-minute test features multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and other similar question types. Any necessary formulas will be provided during the test.
The Reasoning Through Language Arts test lasts 150 minutes including 1 written response question as well as multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. When concentrating on this area with an Enhanced Prep online GED tutor a student will study topics such as understanding written pieces, proper grammar and language use, and the ability to write a piece to convince someone of something.
The 70-minute social studies test prep, with Enhanced Prep online GED help, will include skills such as examining historical actions as well as general social studies concepts and how they can be represented. The questions include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and similar question types.

The GED Exam
The GED is designed to ensure a test-taker has knowledge comparable to what is learned in high school in order to receive a high school equivalency diploma. This diploma concludes a student’s high school education process. Tests can be taken at any time either individually or all at once. An Enhanced Prep tutor can help a student achieve their goals by giving students the information they need to make informed decisions about how to take the tests and making sure the student is as prepared as possible for the test.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for the GED?
The GED covers several different areas of study which can require different study techniques including flashcards, writing practice, and analysis practice. Enhanced Prep will pair a student with a GED tutor who will focus on the whole student and find the study techniques that will help them most. This includes creating a study program that highlights areas an individual student needs the most focus on. Focusing in this manner over time will allow a student the best opportunity for success.
Is the GED hard?
The GED covers a wide variety of information based on a high school education so the difficulty will vary from person to person. GED homework help from Enhanced Prep can help identify areas an individual will find harder than others. Once these areas are identified a study plan can be made that will help students gain knowledge in these areas and make taking the test easier. A prepared test-taker is more likely to do well on the test.
How many times can I retake the GED?
There is no set number of times the GED can be taken. Tests taken in person allow for two retests with no stipulations. Should a student fail the test again after that a mandatory waiting period of 60 days applies before the test can be taken again. For tests taken online, retesting policies vary by state and a test-taker will need to identify the rules for their particular state. It can be a good idea to work with GED tutors to ensure a higher score on the test retake.
Are calculators allowed on the GED?
When the GED is taken in person a test-taker must bring an approved ID to the test center. A student is permitted to bring their own TI-30XS calculator if they wish, but there is an onscreen calculator for the tests that require a calculator, these are mathematical reasoning, social studies, and science. Test-takers will be provided with three dry erase boards, these and a calculator are the only items allowed in the test room.
When the GED is taken online a physical calculator is not allowed. There is an onscreen calculator available in the tests that require one as well as an onscreen scratch pad and whiteboard that can be used for notes and calculations. A test-taker is not allowed to have any personal items within reach during the test.
What is a passing score on the GED?
A minimum score of 145 is required to pass any of the GED tests. A score of 145 on all four tests must be achieved in order to be awarded the high school equivalency diploma. There are perks to a higher score on the GED. A score of 165-174 on any test means a test-taker is college ready in that subject and may allow a student to avoid placement tests for college. A score of 175-200 on any test means a college may choose to award a test-taker credit hours in that subject.
