The GED Science test is not a memorisation test. You are not expected to recall the entire periodic table, the number of bones in the human body, or the precise dates of geological eras. What you are expected to do is think like a scientist read and interpret scientific information, evaluate evidence, draw conclusions, and understand how scientific investigation works.
The test covers three broad domains: Life Science (approximately 40% of the test), Physical Science (approximately 40%), and Earth and Space Science (approximately 20%). Questions are built around passages, diagrams, charts, graphs, and experimental descriptions. The skill being tested is your ability to extract meaning from scientific information, not to generate it from memory.
Our course builds science literacy from the ground up. You will learn how to interpret experimental designs, identify claims and supporting evidence, work with data in tables and graphs, understand cause-and-effect relationships in biological and physical systems, and apply scientific vocabulary accurately. Practical reasoning skills not textbook memorisation are the foundation of everything we teach.

The GED Social Studies test measures your ability to think critically about history, civics, geography, and economics — not your ability to memorise facts. You are not expected to recall the capitals of countries, the exact years of historical events, or the names of obscure political figures. What you are expected to do is read and analyse primary and secondary source documents, interpret data in maps and graphs, and apply reasoning skills to social, political, and economic questions.
The test draws primarily from United States history and civics, though the reasoning and analytical skills it develops are universal. About half of the test is rooted in civics and government; the remainder covers American history, economics, and geography. Many of the passages are excerpts from significant historical documents: constitutional texts, speeches, government reports, and academic analyses and you will be asked to identify main ideas, evaluate arguments, and draw evidence-based conclusions.
Our course builds the historical literacy, civic knowledge, and data interpretation skills you need to perform confidently across all four content areas. You will practise reading complex documents from different time periods, working with political cartoons and infographics, applying economic concepts to real scenarios, and reasoning through evidence-based questions in the same format you will encounter on test day.

The GED Mathematical Reasoning test measures your ability to apply core mathematical skills to real-world problems. Rather than testing memorisation of formulas, it challenges you to think logically, interpret data, and solve problems the way you would encounter them in everyday life, workplace settings, and higher education.
You will work with rational numbers, algebraic expressions, geometric concepts, and statistical reasoning across two sections. A formula reference sheet is provided during the test, which means the focus is firmly on understanding and application, not rote recall. You are expected to know how and when to use a formula, not simply recite it.
This course prepares you for both parts of the test. You will build confidence with arithmetic fundamentals, develop fluency in algebra and functions, explore real-world data through graphs and statistical concepts, and practise solving multi-step problems under timed conditions using the on-screen TI-30XS calculator.

The GED Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA) test measures your ability to read with purpose and precision, write clearly and persuasively, and apply grammar and language conventions accurately. Unlike traditional English exams that focus on isolated grammar drills, the RLA test is rooted in real-world literacy: the kind of reading and writing you do in a workplace, a community, or a college classroom.
The test is built around three skill domains: reading for meaning (including literature and informational texts), identifying and constructing arguments, and applying grammar and language conventions. The most distinctive element is the Extended Response, a 45-minute essay in which you analyse two passages that take opposing positions on an issue and write a well-structured argument explaining which position is better supported by evidence.
