  • You don’t have to memorize formulas and will be given a formula sheet in the test center as well as on the screen in the test.
  • Use the free Math Study Guide to start studying. It will help you understand the skills being tested. Log in to start using the study guide.
  • The GED Ready® practice test for Math can help you determine if you are ready to take the actual test. Log in to take the practice test.
