The GED Ready (Practice Tests)

•92% of test-takers who took the GED Ready® practice test would recommend it to others!•“The GED Ready® [practice test] stands out as the most useful tool. It helped determine when I was ready to take the test, the types of questions I had to look forward to on the test, and also showed me what I needed to study.”

-Jacob. GED® graduate
