GED Mathematics Test

The Mathematics test contains 50 questions total with 40 multiple-choice format questions and 10 grid format questions. There will be a 90 minute time limit. At least half of the questions will reference accompanying graphics such as charts and tables. The test covers a variety of mathematical areas including number operations and number sense (20-30%), data analysis, statistics, and probability (20-30%), algebra, functions, and patterns (20-30%), and measurement and geometry (20-30%). There will be three types of questions on the test: procedural, conceptual, and application.

The Mathematics test will be handed out in two parts, each with 25 questions. During Part I of the test, students can use a calculator which will be provided at the testing center. Students will also be given a sheet of math formulas to use as a reference during the test. Students will have 45 minutes to complete Part I. After 45 minutes, Part I and all calculators will be collected by testing staff and Part II will be distributed. Students will have 45 minutes to complete Part II. Students who complete Part II in less than 45 minutes will have the option to return to Part I of the test. Any students returning to Part I will not have access to calculators during this time.
