GED Connection
GED Connection is a flexible multimedia instructional series featuring
the skills and knowledge needed to prepare for and pass the GED exam.
The series combines 39 television/video programs, 3 student workbooks,
and free Internet learning activities, quizzes and practice tests.
Used together or apart, these components can make studying for the
test exciting, engaging, and effective.
The GED test has five parts to it: math, social studies, science,
reading, and writing. There are GED Connection programs that
correspond to each part of the test, although some parts (like math)
have more programs. The reading programs have one program that
correlates with each type of reading material that may be encountered
on the GED test, which is fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and drama. The
writing programs show how to approach writing as a process in order to
organize your thoughts better. The math programs cover topics like
geometry, measurement, data analysis, formulas, algebra, and
statistics. The science programs cover life science, earth science,
and space science. Lastly, the social studies programs cover topics
like maps, world history, and civics and government.
