4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely informative and appropriate, September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Contemporary's Complete Pre-GED : A Comprehensive Review of the Skills Necessary for GED Study (Paperback)

Preparation for the GED can be difficult and scary, but this text is written and presented in such a way the students will feel more confident. All areas of the test are covered thoroughly without being burdensome. The text also covers all skill levels within each subject. One concern might be the expectation that the student has the reading level necessary for comprehending the explanations, I would suggest some information being provided in the introduction about a minimum reading level needed to use this text.
