The GED Tests (2002 series) 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.
The GED Tests usually require some preparation on your part; about two-fifths of graduating high school seniors don't pass the tests under current score requirements. This is how passing scores for the GED Tests are set: each spring, the tests are administered to a sample group of graduating high school seniors. To pass, you must perform as well as or better than 60 percent of those seniors.
