The test covers basic math, geometry, algebra, and graphs/functions. StudyPug provides lessons for all topics with real GED-style practice.

How long should I study for the GED math test?

Most students need 4-8 weeks of consistent practice. Your timeline depends on your current math level and study schedule.

Can I use a calculator on the GED math test?

Yes, calculators are allowed for most questions. We teach both calculator and non-calculator strategies for complete preparation.

Are these real GED practice questions?

Yes, our practice problems mirror actual GED Mathematical Reasoning questions in format, difficulty, and content areas.

What score do I need to pass GED math?

You need 145+ out of 200 to pass. Our practice tests help you track progress toward passing and identify areas needing improvement.

Do I need to master algebra to pass?

Basic algebra skills are required, but we build from foundations up. Step-by-step videos make even challenging concepts manageable.

Can I study on my phone?

Absolutely! Our mobile app lets you watch lessons, take practice quizzes, and track progress anywhere you have internet access.
