Format
The official GED site lists the Mathematical Reasoning test as 115 minutes in 2 parts with a 3-minute break, an on-screen calculator, and a formula sheet. Question types include multiple choice, drag and drop, fill-in-the-blank, select an area, and drop-down. GED Testing Service's Assessment Guide says about 45% of the test is quantitative problem solving and about 55% is algebraic problem solving. GED Testing Service does not publish a fixed number of questions on its site; this practice mock uses 46 four-choice questions (21 quantitative, 25 algebraic) in 115 minutes. All questions on this site are original AI-written practice questions.
Passing score
The real test is scored on a scale of 100 to 200, and you pass with 145 or higher. GED Testing Service does not publish a percent-correct cutoff, so this site uses 65% correct as a practice goal only. It is not an official score.
Eligibility
The GED test is for adults who did not finish high school. Age limits, residency rules, and fees are set by each state,. Check your state's rules on ged.com before you schedule.

GED Math study tips

Written by our team▼ Show▲ Hide
Study order
Start with Number Sense and Operations and Ratios, Proportions, and Percents, because almost every other topic uses fractions, decimals, and percents. Then move to the algebra side, which is about 55% of the test: Linear Equations and Systems and Graphs, Slope, and Functions carry the most weight in this site's outline. Finish with geometry, data, quadratics, and inequalities.
Topics people often miss
In Graphs, Slope, and Functions, many mistakes come from mixing up rise and run or reading the y-intercept wrong. In Linear Inequalities, remember to flip the sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number. In Volume and Surface Area, pick the right formula from the sheet and keep units consistent (cubic units for volume).
Test day tips
You have 115 minutes in two parts with a short break, and some questions must be done without the calculator, so warm up on hand arithmetic before you start. Open the formula sheet at the beginning so you know where it is. Skip a long word problem if you are stuck, mark it, and come back to it before time runs out.

GED Math exam trends

GED Testing Service splits the test into quantitative problem solving (about 45%) and algebraic problem solving (about 55%). On the quantitative side, expect fractions and decimals, ratios and percents, area, volume, and reading graphs and averages. On the algebraic side, expect writing and solving linear equations and inequalities, factoring, quadratic equations, slope, and functions. Many questions are set in everyday or workplace situations such as pay, shopping, and measurements.

Learn to solve one-step and two-step equations by hand first, because the calculator is provided for most questions but not all of them. Then practice reading word problems slowly and writing the equation before you calculate. Use the formula sheet during practice so you know where each formula is.

About GED Math

The GED Mathematical Reasoning test is one of the four GED tests you must pass to earn a high school equivalency credential. It checks whether you can use basic math, geometry, basic algebra, and graphs and functions to solve real-life problems. You get a formula sheet and an on-screen TI-30XS calculator for most questions, so the test is about knowing which steps to take, not memorizing formulas.

FAQ

Q. What score do I need to pass GED Math?
The GED site says you need 145 out of 200 on each test, including Mathematical Reasoning. GED Testing Service does not publish how many questions you must get right, so this site uses 65% correct as a practice goal.
Q. Can I use a calculator on the GED Math test?
Yes, for most of the test. GED Testing Service provides an on-screen TI-30XS Multiview calculator, but not for every question. Practice basic arithmetic by hand.
Q. Do I have to memorize formulas?
No. A formula sheet is given on the screen and at the test center. It covers area, perimeter, volume, surface area, slope, the quadratic formula, and more. You still need to know when to use each formula.
Q. Are these real GED questions?
No. GED Testing Service does not publish its test questions. Every question on this site is an original AI-written practice question based on the official assessment targets, and they may contain errors. Please report anything that looks wrong.
