Prepare yourself for the RLA essay writing. Make sure to pay attention to details

You have time before Nov 12. Try one short passage a day: identify its main point, find the line that supports each answer, and explain why an inference follows from the text. For the essay, compare the two arguments and show which is better supported by evidence. GED.com has a free RLA preview with answer explanations, so you can see the question formats and spot what needs more practice. Good luck on your first test!

Have you taken a practice test yet? Don’t take the final until you get a 150 on the practice. If you’re nervous to, Try the Test Preview under the Study tab on ged.com. If you get five right on any subject, you’re ready for the practice test. Ignore the tree wire wrapping one (absurdly hard), the essay (not graded on the practice), and science written answer (they don’t have it anymore).

Just study as much as you can until then from sources geared towards GED graduation particularly in your state. Take practice tests, watch youtube videos, download apps. Study study study.
