Mathematics Test

The GED Mathematics Test has two parts, each with 25 questions for a total of 50 questions. Of these, 40 of the questions are multiple-choice format and 10 are grid format. The entire Mathematics Test is 90 minutes long. Each part of the test includes an equal percentage of questions on:

number operations and number sense
data analysis, statistics, and probability
algebra
geometry and measurement

The GED Mathematics Test assesses problem-solving and application skills in the higher levels of math, rather than just whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. A page of formulas is also provided for use in geometric calculations.

What's the Difference Between Part I and Part II?

Part I of the Mathematics Test covers the same type of content as Part II. Both parts contain multiple-choice questions, as well as grid formats and both parts provide a formulas page to use with geometry and measurement problems.

However, on Part I of the Math Test, a candidate is allowed to use the Casio fx-260 Solar Scientific Calculator. The calculator is provided to the candidate at the test site. A personal calculator cannot be brought into the testing session. Although the use of the calculator is not required, it does speed up the mathematical process of tedious calculations.

What does the calculator look like? Although, the Casio fx-260 can be purchased at most stores that sell calculators, take a look below at what the Casio fx-260 looks like.

After Part I is completed, the calculators are collected and the candidate begins Part II using only paper and pencil to figure out the answers to the problems.
