I got my GED back in 2001 and though I did pretty well having this book would have improved my scores. When my sister asked that I get her a book to study for the GED I looked here first, I've always been a fan of the Guides for Dummies and this is another addition to a great line of books.

She hasn't received the book yet as it is a Christmas gift but I have thumbed through the book. They have everything you need to know about the GED from how you sign up for it to an in depth break-down of the tests.Ok, so the book isn't going to teach you everything you need to know but it is going to help you take what you do know and refine it and properly apply it when you take the tests.

Everything is laid out in such an order that you can just pick up the book, start with "A" and once you get to "Z" you're ready to ace the GED. The practice tests are perfect and very true to the form of the GED and you will be pleasantly surprised at what you actually do remember (it's all up there, just need to dust off the brain).

I strongly recommend this book for anyone looking to get a new start with their education. You will not be disappointed, just remember don't give up!

I have been preparing for my GED for quite awhile now and have utilized numerous books. This book was by far the most useless of all. The practice questions we often pointless and the study advice was more common sense than anything else. At the end of the book, they include final practice tests that seem to be more comical than useful. I had a hard time taking the practice tests without criticizing the book consistently. I suggest the Kaplan GED self study guide 2007-2008 edition. At least the Kaplan book seems to take the 5 subjects serious and is successful in treating the reader as if they have a i.q. higher than a newt. Sadly, the GED for Dummies book fails to accomplish this.

We love the "Dummies" series for their humor and easy-to-read-and-understand qualties. This one is no exception. It should be noted, however, that this book is NOT a complete study course, but rather a brush-up review with two full practice tests. The practice tests then have detailed explanations for each question as to why it is the right answer. If you think you basically know the material and just need help preparing for the test itself, this is the book for you, especially if you don't have months to prepare. If you are looking for a full study course, I recommend McGraw-Hill's GED : The Most Complete and Reliable Study Program for the GED Tests. It is a huge, complete book, but the pre-test helps you zone in on the areas you need to study the most.

this book here. it's help you break down thing's in the g-e-d book if you struggle with any subject it will take you in step's how to solve the the suject you need help with.. it's a good book to buy it is very helpfull. it has helped me with a lot of subject's

needed a book to review for ged test. did not want to spend to much. just shelled out 80 dollars to take the test. bought the used copy. did not look used to me. hope guy passed the test. I know i will. Thanks amazon you rock!

I left high school at 17 years of age. I was very fortunate to go through life without a diploma. I have no regrets, but would not recommend quiting school either. When I decided to go after my diploma the GED for Dummies was recommened, and could be purchased from Amazon.com, which i did. I find the book very interesting, and full of very usefull information.
I am 71 years of age with no regrets. And as my review states I will never be to old to learn.
Sincerely

This boo is chock full of useful information and what to study to prepare for the GED. My daughter used it and passed ALL SECTIONS of the GED on the FIRST TRY! I recommend it!

One of the best sources to help students attain GED that I have found. I volunteer at an adult reading center and this book puts it all together in easy to understand ways to help attain that next step in education.

It was written in the same format as I believe the test themselves will be given. It looked to me to be a very fine study guide for those who would like to get over those "test" jitters.

I sent it to a young man in prison, so I can only rate this according to the other "dummies" book. He was very excited about receiving it and it is helping him get his GED.
