The test is divided into two parts, including 5 questions that do not allow a calculator, and 41 questions where you can use a calculator to answer. You’ll get a 3-minute break in between the two sections of the test.

Questions will range in style, including:

  • Fill in the blank
  • Drop down
  • Hot spot
  • Multiple choice
  • Drag and drop

GED Math Test Tips

Now that you have a better idea of what the GED Math test will include, you’re almost ready to start studying. But before you hit the books, be sure to check out our GED Math test tips. This expert advice will help you optimize your study time and leave you well prepared for test day.

  • Save time by memorizing all formulas before you go into the test.
  • Eliminate wrong answers more quickly by reading answer options before you read the question.
  • Read each question twice to make sure you understand what is being asked.
  • If you finish early, go back and double-check your answers.
  • If you’re running out of time, try rounding numbers and estimating in your calculations.
  • Remember that your answer may be in a different form than you’ve considered. For example, if you think the answer is 50 but don’t see it as a multiple choice option, you may need to choose an answer like “25 + 25” instead.
