How to Prepare for the GED® Test (with CD-ROM): All New Content for the Computerized 2014 Exam (Barron's GED) PAP/CDR Edition

Ordered this book for my boyfriend who dropped out of high school several years ago. He was planning to just take the test, but I felt he should at least prepare for it using some kind of book. I Saw this book on Amazon, ordered it, and gave it to him. It has shown him many weaknesses and has really helped him prepare for taking the test.

so I have had the book for about a month and a half now . I have found it to be a good study guide and have learned and reviewed some of the stuff I had already studied in 2013 with another book . I must add than although it may be irrelevant I was ready to take the 2013 version of the GED and pass it , however I wasn't able to take the test due to other personal problems . anyways , the parts I have studied so far are science , Math and some social studies . so I will review each part separately letting everyone know than I haven't yet taken the test since I would like to learn some more before doing so .the Math section I have found it very helpful , although I believe you must pay very close attention to everything and must study from beginning to the end in the order they set it all up , because they will not re-explain what they already explained in past lessons , and because believe it or not the Math section does happen to have some few mistakes mainly in the final answers given at the end of every lesson , nothing big really if you are actually paying attention you will notice any mistakes right away ( page 168 for example has a tiny mistake on it and so does page 279, also saw another mistake in the equations part ) .. either way as I said the book still its very helpful , has a lot of material to study and to learn .. doesn't have SOH CAH TOA as I thought it would , so guess that won't be on the 2014 test after all .the Science section have found it very educating , and very well explained . lots of reading to do and expect it to be very helpful once I actually take the test .Social studies , also does have a lot of stuff to read , lots of History and important historic documents such as the declaration of sentiments , Social security act and so on , all which is used to help you read in an analytical way and teaches you I believe exactly what you will need to know not only for the GED but college as well .. one interesting thing about the SS part is than Mean, median, and mode was moved to it , however that's all the Math I found there although I still have lots of reading to do in that section .so summing it all up I think the book its pretty good material for what its suppose to do , not perfect but worthy of being used to learn all you need for the 2014 test as far as im concern , I definitely would not call it a rip off ...oh as an additional note I haven't even tried the cd it came with but if it sucks I know all I have to do its take one of the many tests available online for free instead , must add than this book its not really than expensive so I do not expect Plato inside their cd room.EDIT .sorry it took a while to get back to this review .. so Finally i have taken the SS test and glad to say i have passed i. so could i say than it was all thanks to the SS from this book ? well partially i would say so since it does have a lot of practice in it which actually will help you understand better History as you read ir , although my recommendation for all its to go ahead and read as much History as possible because you are going to need some History knowledge to be able to pass the test . also i have to add than this book was a good guide to what i needed to look for from other sources such as the internet . oh and i think i would give the SS section four stars because even though it explains pretty well how to write an essay ( which you will need for SS ) it doesn't give you any examples of a good essay vs a bad one ( found that on the internet though ) .

Great book if you’re trying to pass your GED exams.

This item is just what my daughter was looking for to study for her GED. Easy step by step instructions and examples. She is so excited. Fast shipping too. Got a great deal on three books. Thank you. A+++++

I tutor GED students at a local adult literacy center and I am truly sorry that they didn't muster good enough scores to pass the GED last year. This book shows us how college-bound the GED has become, and it's pretty scary. I have two masters degrees, but I don't think I could pass parts of the GED based on the information in this book. I haven't had a math class since 1962 and it would take a lot of prep for me to get the advanced math the test requires. The writing, which I tutor, seems to be based on arcane historic passages that include lots of outdated language and long boring technicalities. The whole thing is pretty terrifying, yet my students soldier on and work really hard to keep from despairing and pass the test.

It has some help in that there are tests in the back of the book for all subjects. explanations are pretty good and helpful to the student. The CD that comes with the book does not give a score but tells you if you got it wrong and what the right answer is with explanations.

My daughter used this book and so far she has passed the test that she attempted which was the math test. I think like anything else it's really good if you use it.
