With the exception of Part II of the Writing Test, which requires you to write an essay, all questions on the GED Tests are multiple choice. The questions vary in difficulty and cover a wide range of subjects.

Skills acquired through work, training, reading and other life experiences may already have prepared you to write the GED Tests. However most people need to refresh or gain additional skills before they are successful in passing all five tests. For additional preparation you can: study books from the library; purchase a study guide from local bookstores or regional college or SIAST campus and study at home with the help of a friend or tutor.  Enroll in a GED Preparation program offered by regional colleges , SIAST, community based organizations or private trainers.  For additional advice on programs and materials available contact your nearest, Canada-Saskatchewan Career & Employment Services offices, regional college or SIAST campus.  GED Preparation courses are generally recommended as they refresh your knowledge and skills, and build confidence in taking timed tests.

To determine how you should best prepare for the tests, you can start by contacting your local regional college, SIAST campus, Dumont Technical Institute or your nearest Canada/Saskatchewan Career and Employment Services office. (See Related Links Section below) Trained Adult Education counsellors at these locations can not only help you decide the extent to which you need to study for the five GED Tests, but they can also help you develop a study plan that is best for you.

You can take the Official GED Practice Tests to determine your readiness to take the GED Tests. The Official GED Practice Tests questions are similar to those on the GED Tests in content, difficulty, and format. The Practice Tests are a good tool to help you decide whether you are adequately prepared to succeed on the actual GED Tests or whether you would benefit from additional study or practice. The practice tests are available in most commercial book stores or use the simulated tests included in some GED preparation books.
