Every Enhanced Prep journey begins with a diagnosis of a student’s individual strengths and weaknesses. College entrance exams test a wide variety of concepts. We identify which concepts will be most valuable for students to focus on so they can maximize their accuracy on test day.
Enhanced Prep tutors will provide each student with different tips and tricks to help them save time on the test without sacrificing accuracy. Equipped with these strategies, students will be able to see a question and know the best approach to answer it and avoid pesky test traps.
So, you’ve mastered the content of the test and you know how to approach the different kinds of questions on the test. What’s next? Each student will receive a unique game plan detailing how much time they should spend on each section of the test, the order in which they should take the test and more!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
