GED Math Test Format and Structure
| Test Section | Questions | Time Allowed | Calculator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 (Non-Calculator) | 5 questions | ~15 minutes | No Calculator |
| Part 2 (Calculator) | 41 questions | ~100 minutes | TI-30XS Calculator |
| Total | 46 questions | 115 minutes | Mixed Format |
Math Question Types and Examples:
Linear Equations Example:
Question: Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22
Answer: x = 5
Solution: Subtract 7 from both sides: 3x = 15, then divide by 3: x = 5
Quadratic Equations Example:
Question: Factor: x² - 5x + 6
Answer: (x - 2)(x - 3)
Solution: Find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to -5: -2 and -3
Geometry Example:
Question: Find the area of a circle with radius 4 cm
Answer: 50.27 cm²
Solution: A = πr² = π(4)² = 16π ≈ 50.27 cm²
Data Analysis Example:
Question: Find the mean of: 12, 15, 18, 20, 25
Answer: 18
Solution: (12+15+18+20+25) ÷ 5 = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
