Frequently Asked Questions
The GED (General Educational Development) is a high school equivalency credential recognized by employers and colleges nationwide. Students in Milwaukee pursue the GED for various reasons—some didn't complete traditional high school, others need to accelerate their education for work or family commitments. Passing the GED demonstrates mastery of core academic skills in math, reading, writing, science, and social studies at a high school level.
The GED consists of four subtests: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. Each section is computer-based and includes multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and extended response questions. The entire test takes about 7-8 hours to complete, though you can take subtests on separate days. Most test-takers need to score at least 145 out of 200 on each subtest to pass.
Many students struggle with math concepts they haven't used in years, particularly algebra and word problems. Time management during the test is another common hurdle—students often rush through questions or get stuck on difficult items. Reading comprehension and essay writing also challenge test-takers who've been away from formal education. Personalized instruction addresses these specific gaps by focusing on your weakest areas rather than reviewing material you already know.
One-on-one GED instruction lets a tutor focus entirely on your learning style, pace, and specific weak points—whether that's conquering fractions, improving essay structure, or building test-taking confidence. Classroom courses move at a fixed pace that may be too fast or too slow for your needs. With personalized tutoring, you get immediate feedback on practice problems, targeted strategies for your trouble areas, and flexible scheduling that fits your life in Milwaukee.
The timeline varies widely depending on your starting point and how much time you can dedicate to study. Some students are ready in 2-3 months of focused preparation, while others benefit from 4-6 months of consistent work. Students who've been away from school longer or struggled with specific subjects often need more time. A tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic study plan tailored to your goals and schedule.
Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in high school-level math, reading, writing, and science—the core GED subjects. Ideally, they have experience preparing students specifically for the GED test and understand the test format, timing, and scoring. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven track records helping students pass the GED and move forward with their education and careers.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand. A tutor will likely review your background, discuss your goals, and assess your strengths and weaknesses across the four GED subjects. This might include working through sample questions or a practice test to identify which areas need the most attention. From there, the tutor creates a customized study plan to maximize your preparation time.
Connect with Varsity Tutors to get matched with a qualified GED tutor who fits your schedule and learning needs. You'll discuss your current situation, test timeline, and specific goals—whether you're aiming to pass quickly or want thorough preparation. From there, you'll begin personalized sessions designed to build your confidence and skills across all four GED subjects.
