Understanding the Test Format

Math isn’t scary, and it has yet to appear as the villain in any major Hollywood horror films (at least that we know about). In fact, math can even be fun when you put your mind to it. In any case, the Mathematical Reasoning test assesses your abilities in math, so you have to be ready for it. This is the one GED test subject that requires a special way of thinking and understanding — improving your ability to think mathematically will make passing this test easier.

The Mathematical Reasoning test is 115 minutes long and consists of multiple-choice, drop-down, fill-in-the-blank, and hot-spot items, but it doesn’t have any type of essay question. You really have to be thankful for small mercies.

To get ready for the Math test, you first have to relax and realize that math is your friend — perhaps not a lifetime friend but a friend at least until you finish the test. You also need to consider that you’ve been using math all your life (and probably didn’t even know it). When you tell a friend that you’ll be over in 20 minutes, for example, you use math. When you see a sale sign in the store and mentally figure out whether you can afford the sale-priced item, you use math. When you complain about the poor mileage your car gets (and can prove it), you use math. You already know more math than you thought, and we show you the rest in this chapter.
