GED Math Mistakes to Watch For
Use a missed or guessed question to choose your next review. Open a worked check, then follow the link to the matching topic. These original examples explain methods and are not official test questions.
Percent of which amount?
Underline the whole before calculating a percent. A discount and the amount paid are different answers.
See a worked check
A $60 item is discounted by 15%. The discount is 0.15 × 60 = $9; the amount paid before tax is $51.
Slope needs a consistent order
Use the same point order in both differences. Slope compares vertical change with horizontal change.
See a worked check
Through (2, 3) and (6, 11), slope = (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) = 8/4 = 2. Reversing both differences also gives 2.
Radius is half the diameter
Label the radius before substituting into a circle formula. Keep length and area units separate.
See a worked check
A circle with diameter 10 cm has radius 5 cm. Its area is π × 5² = 25π cm², not 100π cm².
Translate the fixed charge first
Separate a starting charge from an amount that repeats. Then name the unknown and check the result in the situation.
See a worked check
A service costs $8 plus $3 per hour. For a $23 bill, 8 + 3h = 23, so h = 5 hours. Check: 8 + 3 × 5 = 23.
Probability counts outcomes
Count favorable outcomes and all possible outcomes on the same basis. Include every item in the total.
See a worked check
A bag has 3 blue and 5 red counters. With one random draw, the probability of blue is 3/(3 + 5) = 3/8.
Choose Your GED Math Prep Tool
Different students need different entry points. This toolbox gives quick review, printable practice, topic lessons, and test-mode practice a clear place on the page.
Flashcards
Use formulas, vocabulary, and high-frequency concepts when students only have a few minutes.
Worksheets
Print topic-by-topic practice for fractions, percents, algebra, geometry, data, and word problems.
Topic Lessons
Follow the GED Math course when a student needs examples before practice questions.
Practice Tests
Move into timed questions after the weak skills have been rebuilt.
Choose Your GED Math Study Route
Choose the route that fits your preparation needs. Follow its linked steps, then use a fresh example or practice result to decide what comes next.
Return to the foundations
Choose this route if fractions or percents interrupt otherwise familiar problems.
Move on when you can explain why each operation fits the question.
Connect algebra and graphs
Choose this route if you can calculate but struggle to set up an equation or interpret a line.
Check a solution in the original equation and explain what the graph represents.
Plan your next practice session
Use mixed math practice to find what needs attention, rather than repeating complete tests without review.
Separate setup, calculation, and reading errors in your notes before practicing again.
