first all - the GED 'testing' is changing in 2014,

so

if you can take the exam in 2013, that's a plus, as you'll be under the 2013 guidelines.

My wife wants to take some schooling here, but no university recognizes her super-old high school diploma from China, so she's studying hard for the GED exam this month.

I don't have experience taking the GED, but man o man, I sure do have experience studying for it, last month and this.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I don't know what its like now but as a high school dropout I took my GED in the 90s. I was worried at the time because it had been many years since I was in school but I needed a GED to go to technical school. The GED study book was huge and a bit overwhelming to study. Someone encouraged me to just take the tests on each subject. If I failed I could just study for that subject. I actually ended up passing them all without study.I hope it goes as well for you

I took my ged when I arrived here, but what I did was go to college and they help you a lot. The classes were free, I stongly suggest you look into local schools and colleges and see whats on offer. They really prepare you for the tests, and by the way I passed first time.

Good luck
