GREAT BOOK!

This book gets to the point and really helps. I also purchased McGraw-Hill's GED : The Most Complete and Reliable Study Program for the GED Tests and GED Math Workbook, 5/e (Ged Mathematics Workbook) . I managed to pass, 7 years after I left high school... and pull a perfect score in one of the subjects.

Great study aid!

I really liked this book. The writers wrote in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. They were able to catch and keep my attention which was surpising, but I also agreed with the other reviewer when he/she said that there should have been more detailed explanations. For example, in the math section there are a lot helpful practice problems which I liked, except when I turned to the back of the book to check my answers and I got one or two incorrect, it told me the right answer, but didn't really explain why that was the right answer. So, since I had no idea how they got that answer I had no idea how to fix the mistake I made doing the problem. Still, besides that one drawback, in my opinion the book was great. It was very thorough, comprehendable and written in a laid back manner. I passed the GED simply from studying this book alone. I reccomend this book to anyone reading this review.

really helpful

Before I applied to do my GED I came to this site and read about all the study guides available . This book definately got the best reviews .I went to the libarary and found only the Arco test books which were ok but when I bought this book it just made everything easier and less complicated.It explained things in great detail and best of all it told you the things that are most likely to come up in the test.When I went to do my exams I found the book very acurate in its predictions. I am glad to say that I passed with pretty good scores .So to all those who come after me good luck and get the book it is definately worth it.

Highly Recommended!

This is a great book! I also studied using the ARCO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SCORE HIGH ON THE GED HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY EXAM (15th edition). However, I personally felt that the CRACKING THE GED book did a *far* better job of covering the stuff that I would be tested on and skipping the stuff that wouldn't help in passing the GED. I'm highly recommending CRACKING THE GED to several friends and think they will find it as great as my sister and I did!At first I was concerned that the pre-tests in the CRACKING THE GED book might not be accurate (they seemed a whole lot easier than the ones in the ARCO book), but after taking and passing the GED, I can say that I think the CRACKING THE GED's pre-tests are pretty close to the real thing! =)
