Community Education Initiative
Founded & Maintained by Avery Owens
Free, organized, and comprehensive study resources for every subject on the GED exam — practice tests, video lessons, worksheets, study guides, and more. All in one place.
My name is Avery Owens. I am a sophomore at GCS High School in New York City with a deep commitment to education equity and community empowerment. I study public policy, constitutional law, and advocacy, and I compete in Public Forum Debate on topics including federal regulatory authority and governance.
I founded this GED peer-tutoring program because I believe that the path to a high school equivalency credential should not depend on access to expensive test prep services. This program pairs high school students directly with adult GED test-takers to deliver consistent, personalized academic support at no cost.
This resource hub is an extension of that mission. Every link, practice test, video lesson, and worksheet listed here has been vetted and verified. Nothing requires payment to access the core materials.
If you are an adult learner preparing for the GED, this site is built for you. If you are an educator or organization interested in partnering, please reach out.
This program pairs qualified high school students with adult GED test-takers for one-on-one tutoring sessions. Tutors are matched based on subject-area strength and learner need. Sessions address all four GED subject areas — Mathematical Reasoning, Reasoning Through Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies — and are structured around each learner's specific gaps.

The GED (General Educational Development) test is a nationally recognized high school equivalency credential. It is accepted by 97% of U.S. colleges, universities, and employers. The test consists of four separate subject exams, which can be taken individually and do not all have to be completed on the same day.
To pass, you must score at least 145 out of 200 on each subject exam. A score of 165 or above earns the "GED College Ready" distinction, and a score of 175+ may earn you college credit for that subject.
Quantitative and algebraic problem solving. Covers basic math, geometry, algebra, and data analysis. A calculator is provided for most of the section.
Reading comprehension, grammar, and an extended response essay. Draws from fiction, nonfiction, and foundational American documents.
Life science, physical science, and Earth and space science. Focuses on reading scientific text, interpreting data, and applying reasoning skills.
Civics and government (50%), U.S. history (20%), economics (15%), and geography (15%). Emphasizes reading comprehension and data interpretation.
Examination Preparation Strategies
Before studying broadly, take a full practice test to identify which subjects and topics need the most attention.
Most successful test-takers prepare for and take each subject exam separately rather than all four at once.
The GED Ready is the only officially certified practice test. A "Likely to Pass" score is a strong predictor of success on test day.
Three of the four GED subjects require strong reading comprehension. Daily nonfiction reading dramatically improves performance across all sections.
The GED is computer-based and includes drag-and-drop, hot spot, and fill-in-the-blank question types. Practice these specifically.
The math section provides a formula reference sheet. Learn how to use it effectively so you are not memorizing every formula from scratch.
