About the GED Math Test
The GED Math Test is divided into two equally weighted parts, each containing 25 questions. On Part I of the test, you may use the Casio fx-260 calculator to compute answers. A calculator will be provided for your use at the official GED Testing Center. Because estimation and mental math are critical skills, you are not permitted to use the calculator on Part II of the test. A math formulas pageis provided for your reference during the test.
The GED Math Test assesses your understanding of mathematical concepts and the application of those concepts to various real-world situations. The following four major areas are tested on the Mathematics Test:
- Number operations and number sense (20%–30%)- Measurement and geometry (20%–30%)
- Data analysis, statistics, and probability (20%–30%)
- Algebra, functions, and patterns (20%–30%)
Although 80% of the mathematics questions are multiple choice, 20% of the questions require you to construct your own answer. Rather than select from five choices, you must record answers on either standard or coordinate plane grids. Both Parts I and II of the GED Math Test have multiple-choice, standard grid, and coordinate plane grid questions.
