How to Start with GED Connection Online Lessons
Start with a practice test to see what you know already and plan your study accordingly. Take the GED practice test #1 in each subject area before you begin the learning modules or the quizzes in that subject area. If you need help in that area, do that GED subject area module or one or more of the Internet Activites/Quizzes before you go on to take other practice tests.

After completing the Learning Module and/or the Quizzes, take practice test #2 in the same subject area to see how you improved. When you feel fairly confident in your skills in all five subject areas, you can register to take the GED test in your local area or take the "official GED practice test" to see if additional study is needed.

GED Online Learning Modules
Each Online Learning Module is an in-depth, interactive lesson designed to provide practice and develop GED test-taking skills. Each module has several units, and each unit contains a set of activities. The modules may take a week or more to complete. You can work on the lessons anytime, at any place convenient for you that has Internet access. You'll answer questions related to GED Test subject areas, and log on to websites to find and apply information needed to complete GED Connection exercises.

As you type your answers and save them, you are gaining writing practice and building a "portfolio" of work online. You can add to your answers, revise and change them, or redo the lessons if you wish. Your portfolio work will strengthen your skills and help prepare you for the essay portion of the GED.

GED Internet Activities/Quizzes
An online Activity and Quiz corresponds to each of the 39 GED Connection lessons and workbook chapters. As you visit activity websites, you'll gain practice reading content and answering the different kinds of questions that will be used on the GED test. The quizzes are scored automatically, and give immediate feedback.

Workbooks
Three full-color GED Connection workbooks & cover all five subject areas and provide lots of skill-building and test-taking practice

  • Language Arts: Reading and Writing
  • Science and Social Studies
  • Mathematics

Each workbook chapter corresponds to a video program and related online activities. Each workbook also contain a pretest and a practice test, to help students evaluate their GED readiness in that subject area, an answer key with explanations, a reference handbook with additional resources for GED preparations, a glossary, and an index.
