Frequently Asked Questions
The GED (General Educational Development) is a high school equivalency credential recognized by employers and colleges nationwide. Students in Salt Lake City pursue the GED for various reasons—whether they didn't complete traditional high school, need to accelerate their education timeline, or are returning to school after time away. Passing the GED demonstrates mastery of high school-level skills in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
The GED consists of four modules: Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. Each section is scored on a scale of 100-200, and you need a minimum score of 145 on each module to pass (some states set higher passing scores). The test is computer-based and takes approximately 7-8 hours total, though you can spread it across multiple test dates if needed.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific knowledge gaps and focus time on the areas where you need the most help, rather than covering material at a classroom pace. Tutors can adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, provide immediate feedback on practice problems, and create a study plan tailored to your timeline and goals. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and higher confidence going into test day.
Many students struggle with algebra concepts like solving equations and working with variables, as well as geometry and data analysis problems that require multi-step reasoning. Word problems are another common challenge because they require students to translate real-world scenarios into mathematical equations. A tutor can break down these concepts into manageable pieces and provide plenty of practice with immediate feedback to build confidence.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation, though this varies based on your starting point and how much time you can dedicate to studying. If you have significant gaps in foundational skills, you may want to allow 12-16 weeks. Working with a tutor helps you use your study time efficiently by focusing on exactly what you need to master rather than reviewing material you already know.
Your first session is typically a diagnostic and planning meeting. A tutor will assess your current skill level in each GED module, discuss your timeline and goals, and identify which areas need the most attention. Together, you'll create a personalized study plan that breaks down your prep into manageable milestones, so you know exactly what to focus on each week leading up to test day.
Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who specialize in GED preparation and understand the specific challenges students face. You can share your availability, goals, and preferred learning style, and we'll match you with a tutor who fits your needs. The process is straightforward—once matched, you can start your personalized prep right away.
Beyond just teaching content, tutors help you build test-taking strategies, practice with timed sections to improve pacing, and work through full-length practice tests under realistic conditions. This repeated practice with feedback reduces anxiety and helps you develop the stamina needed for the full exam. By test day, you'll have solved hundreds of problems similar to what you'll encounter, so the format and question types feel familiar.
