GED: im ready

[Haus]

Ok im really concidering to get my GED very soon. But i need to study first. So my question is for any body that had to go though with getting a GED do you have any advise on what i should study or any tips. Is there a good web site i can go to, to get a good online study exams. I forgot a lot of shit from school and since i been out since my 2nd year of 9th grade, so about 7 years or so and never did that good anyway.

i know where im from that you go for 2 days. 4 hours each day. the first day you go over stuff and the 2nd you take the test but i want to get ahead of the game.

so if anyone could help me find a good site to get practice exams or any tips or advice that would be great.

barnes and noble and borders have pretty good study guides... i picked a few for prepaation to start my master's.. maybe in the fall... im pretty sure they have GED study guides with sample tests and things

what they said... i will tell you that the test was nothing... then again i did a program that was a bootcamp for six months. they made us take classes and had we to live the bootcamp style life for 6 months just to get my GED. only got to go home two weekends out of the entire six months.. you had to want it though. they paid for everything too. they even paid you money every month so you could get toothpaste, shampoo, etc... good program for younger kids who don't have a HS degree. its called Commonwealth Challenge around here. the actual name is just Challenge...

I got my ged and I didnt even study, so it had to of been easy LOL .. Kidding.. the worse part was the math, but I am good w/ math so it was all good.

i found this site but and i did good in a few of the sections but some of them are freaking crazy. i have no freaking clue. i cant remember that much from school anymore. i guess i better go to borders and buy a GED book. maybe theyll show me the equations on how to get the answers on the questions.

i never took anything higher in math then basic algebra so im looking at this stuff. makes my head want to explode.

 

[Veronica]

post a equation that you are having problems w/ along w./ the directions and I will show you how to work it.

PS: I took 4 math classes when I was in college last year... so I know some of it

questions like these. i have no clue on how to solve this or even begin to find away to solve them. i guess i need a book to teach the ways on how to solve them

If y(x-1)=z then x=

Which of the following values is NOT equal to 34(58+9)?

* 34 x 67
* 58(34+9)
* 34 x 58 + 34 x 9
* 1,972 + 306
* (9 + 58) 34

add whats in the () =67 .... just find out the one that doesnt state the same thing as the question

oh ok.

is the GED gonna be in multiple choice forms like that.

 

[dt3]

y(x-1)=z

multiply the y by everything in the ()

xy-y=z

add y to both sides, to take it off of the left. If you do it to one side, you do it to the other

xy=z+y

then divide both sides by y to get just x

x=z+(y/y)

the y's cancel out

X=Z




Is that right everybody else? I think so, but math has never been a strong point.

 

[lemon]

no

If y(x-1)=z then x=?

• 
  y(x-1)=z
  xy-y=z
  xy=z+y
  x=(z+1)/y

If y(x-1)=z then x=(z+1)/y

Re: RE: GED: im ready

no

If y(x-1)=z then x=?

y(x-1)=z
xy-y=z
xy=z+y
x=(z+1)/y

If y(x-1)=z then x=(z+1)/y

thats what i came up with

 

[lemon]

also:

If y(x-1)=z then x=?

y(x-1)=z
(x-1)=z/y
x-1=z/y
x=(z/y)+1
