For students who have not taken the GED test yet:
GED Testing Service introduced a new version of the test, given nationwide, on Jan. 1, 2014. Developers say the first major changes since 2002 will align the test with the new Common Core curricula adopted by most states to increase college and career readiness. It also will shift test-taking from pencil and paper to computer.

How do I use the PreTests?
The Pretests will help you determine what you need to study in this book. They are tests in the format and level of difficulty of the real GED Test, one-quarter-length. The results of these tests will help you map out a plan of study. We recommend the following approach to the Pretests.
1. Take only one Pretest at a time.
2. Check the answers in the Answer Key and fill in the Evaluation Chart.
3. Based on the information in the Evaluation Charts, you may choose to do one or two things.
4. For the best results you will want to review the section on Critical Thinking Skills, beginning on page 31.
5. Although these are Pretests, you should give them your best effort.
