What is the GED and WHY is it so difficult?
The General Educational Development (GED) test is often considered challenging for several reasons:
The GED exam covers a wide range of subjects, including mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and writing. This comprehensive content requires test-takers to have a solid grasp of a variety of topics.
Comprehensive Content
The GED is designed to be equivalent to a high school diploma, so the content and standards are set accordingly. Test-takers are expected to demonstrate a level of knowledge and skills comparable to that of a high school graduate.
High School Equivalency
The GED doesn't just test rote memorization; it assesses a person's ability to think critically, analyze information, and solve complex problems. These cognitive skills can be demanding to develop and apply.
Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
The GED has a strict time limit for each section, which can add pressure to test-takers. Managing time effectively while answering questions accurately can be challenging.
Time Constraints
In many places, the GED is administered via computer-based testing, which might be unfamiliar to some candidates. Navigating through the computer interface and typing essays can be daunting for those not accustomed to digital testing.
Computer-Based Testing
The GED has evolved over the years, and the format has changed, making it challenging for individuals who are not familiar with the new format.
Changes in Test Format
Many GED test-takers face personal challenges, such as working full-time jobs, caring for families, or dealing with other responsibilities. Balancing these demands with GED preparation can make the test even more difficult.
Personal Circumstances
Test anxiety is common and can significantly impact performance. The importance of the GED as a pathway to better opportunities can add to the pressure.
Stress and Anxiety
Despite its difficulty, the GED is an attainable goal for many individuals with the right preparation, support, and determination. Many educational programs and resources are available to help test-takers succeed and achieve their high school equivalency credential.
