Perhaps youve applied for a job and have been turned down because you dont have a high-school diploma or a GED. Or maybe you were up for a promotion at work, but when your boss found out that you didnt finish high school, they said you werent eligible for the new job. Maybe youve always wanted to go to college but couldnt even apply because the college of your choice requires a high school diploma or GED for admission. Or perhaps your kids are just about to graduate from high school and youre motivated to finish, too. Perhaps you just want to set a good example for them.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to earn a high-school diploma whether Ive mentioned them here or not this book is for you. It helps you to prepare for the computer-based GED test, which, if you pass, offers you the equivalent of a high-school diploma without attending all the classes.

If you want a high-school diploma, you can always go back and finish high school the old-fashioned way. Of course, it may take you a few years, and you may have to quit your job to do it. Plus, youd have to sit in a class with teenagers for six or so hours a day (and probably be treated like one, too). You could also try night school, but at one or two courses a year, that could take forever.

For most people, that situation doesnt sound too appealing. GED Test Prep 2023/2024 For Dummies presents a different solution: Earn a high-school diploma and do so in the shortest time possible, without ever having to share a classroom with other people. If you dont mind preparing yourself for a series of challenging test sections that determine whether youve mastered key skills, you can get a GED diploma thats the equivalent of a high-school education and you can do so in much less than four years.

If taking the GED test to earn your diploma sounds like a great idea to you, this book is a necessary study tool. Its a fun-filled and friendly instruction manual for succeeding on the all-computerized GED test. Use this book as your first stop. It isnt a subject-matter preparation book that is, it doesnt take you through the basics of math and then progress into algebra, geometry, and so on. It does, however, prepare you for the GED test by giving you detailed information about each section, two full-length practice tests for each section, a complete online test, and plenty of easy-to-understand answers and explanations for the test questions. After taking the practice tests and going through the answers and explanations, you can determine which subject areas you need to work on.

Just as important, I walk you through how to take and pass the test using a computer. Although people needing special accommodations may still have access to the old paper-and-pencil test format, for most, its now offered only on a computer. Having basic computer knowledge is very important. Some of the question formats have changed as well, so knowing how to use the computer mouse and keyboard to answer them is also important.
