GED for Beginners

Four GED subjects. One clear, practical plan to prepare for all of them.

If it has been years since you were in school-or if math, reading, science, or social studies never felt easy-GED for Beginners gives you a structured place to start and a complete path forward.

Prepare for All Four GED Subject Areas

Mathematical Reasoning
Build confidence with number sense, fractions, ratios, percents, algebra, equations, graphs, functions, geometry, measurement, data, statistics, probability, advanced algebra tools, calculator use, and formula-sheet strategy.

Reasoning Through Language Arts
Strengthen close reading, main ideas and details, inference, vocabulary in context, text structure, author's purpose and craft, arguments and evidence, comparison of texts and visuals, grammar, punctuation, editing, and extended-response skills.

Science
Learn how to analyze scientific passages, claims and evidence, variables and controls, experimental design, tables and graphs, scientific calculations, life science, genetics, ecosystems, matter, chemical reactions, motion, energy, electricity, Earth systems, weather, climate, and space science.

Social Studies
Practice working with primary and secondary sources, point of view, credibility, maps, political cartoons, constitutional principles, federalism, branches and checks, rights and civic responsibilities, U.S. history, civil rights, economics, geography, resources, technology, and sustainability.

Learn From Every Question-Especially the Ones You Miss

That turns mistakes into specific study instructions instead of reasons to start over.

Practice With Full-Length Tests

The book includes 2 full-length practice tests that combine all four subjects so you can rehearse pacing, unfamiliar wording, and the mental shift between different types of GED reasoning.

Complete answer keys and explanations help you review missed and uncertain responses-not just count your score.

You also receive access to 10 additional full-length practice tests online, giving you even more opportunities to build confidence and measure your progress.
