Day 90/100..

Waiting for VS Code to update so I can start my 2-hour daily session.🤗

starting my notes on the essay portion of the GED

Hi! First of all, I want to point out that im not from the US or Canada, so these are mostly my generic last minute study tips as well as some resources I found online :))

10 Tips & Tricks to Pump Up Your GED Score (there are also loads of related articles on this site)

Free Practice GED Tests

I legit cannot emphasise how important practice questions are!! You could know the course inside out and still mess up simply because you don’t understand what they want to see in your answer

Description and Tips for the GED

This one seems quite handy because it goes through the format of the exam and the approach you should take in a bit more detail

GED Social Studies Prep Guide

This one has paid lessons, however I thought it was still quite good because it has questions on topics towards the bottom of the page (for free)

For last minute study in general

Do what works for you: For me, when I have loads of time, I like to write out notes or summaries. However, when exams are just around the corner, reading my notes out loud while moving about (even just pacing up and down my room) works wonders for me

Practice questions: I’m saying this again because it’s so important!!

Sleep and eat: Otherwise your doing more harm than good

Go outside: Listen I am about as unfit as a person can get, but sometimes you just need to get out of the house for a bit. Even a brisk 10 minute walk is perfect!!

Tips for Staying Focused when Revising for Exams by @firstsuccess-thensleep

Hi! First of all, I’m not american and I don’t know these exams. I know only the things my quick google search told me.

Math needs a lot of practice. Detach your own worth from it and get ready to spend a lot of time doing it. A lot of people connect math skills to intelligence, but that’s not the case! There are so many things that determine person’s intelligence and not being great at math doesn’t mean anything!

Make sure to take breaks and do the things you love. Doing maths, especially when you struggle, can be very exhausting because you have to very actively think about it. Get enough rest to prevent burn out!

Remind yourself regularly about why you want to pass the exams and keep imagining how great you’ll feel when it’s over.

I don’t know how much time you have but make sure to start early if you can! It’s much better to practice every day for 2 hours than do full 12 hours 3 days before the exam.
