Help ME Get My GED

Motivate Yourself to Study

If you want to succeed in anything, motivation to study will help get the job done. Most individuals are procrastinators when it comes to completing unenjoyable tasks. Realize that earning a GED is a step towards a better future. You'll want to pass the first time you take the tests so be prepared! Center yourself on your need to pass the GED, then focus on that. Visualize yourself in the future with a better job, making more money, higher education, anything to keep you working towards your goal. Keep this visualization in mind to motivate yourself to earn your GED.

Study Wisely

Concentrate on individual sections of the test; don't try to study for everything at once. The GED requires you to know five different subject areas that can be overwhelming. Begin with subject areas that you are most comfortable with or the subject you need less work on. Try not to study your weakest subject first, begin with the easiest. Everyone has their personal reasons why they didn't finish high school. One reason may be that high school wasn't enjoyable and rewarding for you. With that aside, you need to get some success under your belt. Try taking a practice test, and then work on subjects you still need to improve upon. Take another practice test to find out if you're ready to take the GED. When you are confident, move on to the next subject area.

Set Objectives

While studying, set some goals:

• What do you want to accomplish?
• How soon do you want to accomplish your goal?
• Do you want to tackle the test at once or in parts?
• What do you want to do with a GED?
