Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Identify central ideas, author's purpose, and how arguments are built in reading passages
Correct the grammar, punctuation, and sentence-structure errors the test targets
Plan and write an organized extended response that uses evidence from the sources
Solve number sense, ratio, percent, geometry, and data problems with confidence
Translate word problems into equations, and solve linear equations, systems, and quadratics
Use the on-screen calculator and formula sheet efficiently on the Math test
Read scientific texts, charts, and experiments, and evaluate the conclusions they support
Analyze historical documents, civics questions, and social studies data, then build a test-day plan

Whether you left school years ago or just need to close a few gaps, earning your GED can open the door to better jobs, college, and training programs, and this six-week small group class is built to help you get there with confidence. You'll take the four GED subjects one at a time: two weeks of Reasoning Through Language Arts, two weeks of Mathematical Reasoning, one week of Science, and a final week of Social Studies and test-day review. This isn't a lecture you sit through. Every session gives you strategies you can use right away, from breaking down tricky questions to working through math problems step by step. You'll learn alongside other adults working toward the same goal, with an expert instructor who meets you where you are and keeps you moving forward.
Session 1: Reasoning Through Language Arts: Reading Comprehension Find central ideas and author's purpose, analyze how arguments are built, interpret words in context, and compare texts and data the way the RLA test asks.
Session 2: Reasoning Through Language Arts: Grammar and the Extended Response Fix the agreement, punctuation, and sentence-structure errors the test targets, and plan a clear, evidence-based essay that analyzes the arguments in two sources.
Session 3: Mathematical Reasoning: Quantitative Problem Solving Work with number sense, ratios, percents, and data displays, plus the geometry, statistics, and probability questions that show up most, using the on-screen calculator and formula sheet.
Session 4: Mathematical Reasoning: Algebraic Problem Solving Write and solve linear equations, systems, and quadratics, work with functions and graphs, and turn word problems into equations step by step.
Session 5: Science Read scientific texts, charts, and experiments with confidence, and review the key ideas from life science, physical science, and earth and space science.
Session 6: Social Studies and Test-Day Review Analyze historical documents, civics and government questions, and economics and geography data, then finish with a test-day game plan for all four subjects.
