How is grammar tested on the GED?
On the real test, grammar is mostly tested with drop-down items inside a passage such as a workplace memo or letter: you choose the word or phrase that correctly completes a sentence. Ours present the same editing choices as multiple choice.
Which grammar rules matter most for the GED?
GED Testing Service’s language targets include commonly confused words, subject-verb and pronoun agreement, modifiers, parallelism, wordiness, transitions, capitalization, apostrophes, run-ons, fragments and comma use.
