What Algebraic Problem Solving covers
- Expressions, equations and inequalities (A.1–A.4): writing and simplifying expressions, factoring, solving linear equations, systems and inequalities, and quadratic equations.
- Graphs and functions (A.5–A.7): the coordinate plane, slope and equations of lines, parallel and perpendicular lines, function notation and comparing functions.

How much algebra is on the GED math test?
About 55 percent of the test is algebraic problem solving, according to GED Testing Service’s Assessment Guide for Educators: expressions, equations, inequalities, quadratics, graphs and functions.
Is the quadratic formula on the GED formula sheet?
Yes. The formula sheet includes the quadratic formula, slope, the slope-intercept and point-slope forms of a line, and the standard form of a quadratic equation.
Can I use a calculator for algebra questions?
On part 2 of the test, yes: an on-screen TI-30XS calculator is available, and you may bring your own TI-30XS to a test center. Part 1 has about 5 questions without a calculator.
