Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
GED time strategy
With 161 questions in 425 minutes, you have about 158 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Reasoning Through Language Arts (46 Q)
Target ~196 sec/question. If a question takes more than 294 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Mathematical Reasoning (46 Q)
Target ~150 sec/question. If a question takes more than 225 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Science (34 Q)
Target ~159 sec/question. If a question takes more than 239 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Social Studies (35 Q)
Target ~120 sec/question. If a question takes more than 180 seconds, mark for review and move on.
