Is the GED easier in certain states or something?

Question

i've been studying for it the past week. i bought a ged study guide and took practice tests online. i'm fine when it comes to reading/grammar/etc but math has always been a problem for me, so i was a little nervous.

well, i took the first part yesterday and i literally could not believe how simple it was. it's MIDDLE SCHOOL stuff. why were the online math tests so difficult?

i live in florida and i know we're not exactly known for our academic acheivement; does that have anything to do with why the ged was so easy? is it more challenging in other states?

i'm really curious about this so any answers or experiences with the ged are really appreciated.

Answer 1

Not sure how it differs from state to state; but I have taken and passed the G.E.D. test. Took me two times though, and yes the math is like middle school level on the actual test.

I am proud of my writing ability's and have ALWAYS wanted to be a writer, has always been my best subject. Want to hear something funny? The first test I took, threw me for a loop... on the writing essay, the Q: was something about the difference in living ability's in urban areas vs. rural areas. I was scored on my essay and if I had gotten 1 more point on it, I would have passed the whole test! But failed and always said that if I had nads like a dude, that would have been being kicked in them.

Second time around, and it seemed easier, (2 1/2yrs later) I am " a proud ged holder of my fine state, uh huhhh i am". lol.
