There are 5 GED tests. They are Language Arts Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts Writing. It is the GED math and GED writing tests that give most students problems.

If students are comfortable with the writing process, I will recommend that they at least take a practice test and write one or two essays.... before they attempt the offical test.

If students are NOT comfortable, they I encourage them to partner with a GED tutor. They may need a review of the basics such as sentence structure and combining. They will also need to review the basics of writing the GED essay. For some, this may take a week.... for others a couple of months.
