How to Prepare for the GED High School Equivalency Exam

I had health problems that prevented me from finishing high school and it is now interfering with my furthering my career in nursing. This book has proven invaluable to me for showing me what to expect when I go to write for my GED. Practice exams, step by step explainations on how to figure out the answers and indepth information that I know will help me with my G.E.D exam.

Overall the book really is immensely useful for studying for the GED.But...the typos are annoying. Incorrect answer numbers in the answer key waste a lot of time and cause one to question their sanity after 20 attempts to match the answer number given. The following explanation pages usually,(not always), have the right answer number. But, sometimes the explanation backs up your 'wrong' choice and not the answer given. Sometimes explanations of answers are sooo vague they are frustrating. Sometimes 'facts' contradict themselves in different places; sometimes 'facts' contradict conventional usage. Best to check with other references when it gets confusing.It does keep one thinking, and digging for information, though. Maybe that is the purpose. If so, it does make for great discussions. and discussions are great for learning, so, I do recommend it.

While taking graduate courses, I am an adult literacy instructor at a local community college. I teach the basic level course for students who wish to earn their GED. Besides the plethora of texts that my institution provides me, I recommended this book highly to all my students. After reviewing a copy, it was obvious that Barron's GED book is commensurate in quality with the books in the rest of their test prep series. I have already reviewed the Barron's GRE, PPST, SAT, and PRAXIS test books, of which are all superb books for preparing a student for their respective test. Therefore, I expected nothing less than the best from the GED test prep book. Needless to say, it delivered. This book is the best book in its topic. The diagnosis test at the beginning of the book provides an accurate detail of where each respective student needs the most academic attention, and the examples throughout the book do a great job at developing the students' weaker areas. The practice tests are very helpful, and the CD-ROM is a great resource for students that have the means of a computer. However, the CD-ROM is the weakest part of this book. It is useful when it works, and it a great supplement to the book itself, but by no means is it a replacement for the book. Furthermore, this book is not a replacement for a good GED class, nor is it something that I recommend students attempt without consulting a teacher, or taking a class. My students use this book as a homework source, and supplement to my class. It is a great tool for teachers of GED and Adult Literacy classes to consult for possible course lessons and is an excellent source of information for students in a GED program. A great book to say the least!

In drill #1 question #29 you are asked to find the amount of the 7 equal monthly payments, it came to $90. but when I picked that answer it told me that I was wrong. It said not enough information was givien because it never told you how many payments. The book as a whole is great, I just wanted some one to know that the problem was there.
