The GED test is a pretty challenging high school equivalency exam. In fact, the passing standards are so high that some 40 percent of all high school grads would not pass on the first try. So get well prepared.

Many examples and concepts are based on evidence from the world around us and displayed on charts and other visuals.

These lessons are aligned with Common Core Standards and the GED Social Studies test. The GED credential is nationally recognized as equivalent to a standard high school diploma.
