text: is the ged test hard? i want to get my ged. some years ago i taught a class for drop-outs preparing for the g.e.d.  if the test is still the same, it is not hard. so long as you can read and comprehend, you shouldn't have any problem. other than the math section, all of the answers to the questions are contained right within the reading.   what ever you do, don't let your fear hold you back from taking the test. i'm sure you can take it again if you have trouble the first time and if you do have trouble, at least you'll find out what you need to work on. they may still have practice tests out there, also.   "just do it" and let us know how you do. we're all routing for you!
