How can I improve my GED language art reading skills?

• Improve your ability to read quickly. Regardless of the approach you employ, strive to increase your reading speed without sacrificing your overall understanding.
• Understand the fundamental rules of grammar. You don't need to describe a gerund or offer an example, but you should be familiar with verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, possessives, and other related concepts. 
• In regular conversation, practice grammar and appropriate English. If you come across a rule that differs from how you speak, write it down on a flashcard and practice it throughout the day. Soon enough, your ears will be trained to recognize perfect grammar.
• Understand punctuation. Understand how to use commas, semicolons, colons, and other punctuation marks.
• Read as much as possible. Reading makes you aware of proper grammar. It makes a difference what you read.

Sample GED Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free GED practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. Which sentence uses figurative language to describe disappointment?

   • A. She did not get the job she applied for
   • B. Her heart sank when she read the rejection letter
   • C. The rejection letter arrived on Tuesday
   • D. She applied for three different positions last month

   Answer: B. Her heart sank when she read the rejection letter

   'Her heart sank' is a common metaphor that vividly conveys the feeling of disappointment rather than stating it literally.

2. Which sentence uses the MOST effective academic language for an extended response?

   • A. The author is wrong about this stuff.
   • B. I think the author made a mistake.
   • C. The author's claim is undermined by the statistical evidence presented in paragraph three, which demonstrates the opposite conclusion.
   • D. The author's argument doesn't really work.

   Answer: C. The author's claim is undermined by the statistical evidence presented in paragraph three, which demonstrates the opposite conclusion.

   Option C uses precise academic vocabulary ('undermined,' 'statistical evidence,' 'demonstrates'), cites a specific location ('paragraph three'), and makes a clear logical connection — appropriate for formal academic writing.

3. Which coalition of nations was the Triple Entente in the system of alliances that emerged just before World War I?

   • A. Russia, France, and the United Kingdom
   • B. France, Spain, and Italy
   • C. Germany, Italy, and Japan
   • D. The United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States

   Answer: A. Russia, France, and the United Kingdom

   The Triple Entente was an informal alliance that developed between Great Britain, France, and Russia in the years leading up to World War I. This alliance system, along with the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy), created a complex web of commitments that contributed to the outbreak of the war.

4. A passage reads: 'She had climbed the corporate ladder for twenty years. Now, staring at her corner office, she wondered what she had sacrificed along the way.' What theme does this best represent?

   • A. The importance of hard work
   • B. The conflict between professional success and personal fulfillment
   • C. The dangers of office environments
   • D. The value of patience and persistence

   Answer: B. The conflict between professional success and personal fulfillment

   The character's reflection on what she 'sacrificed' suggests tension between career achievement and personal happiness.
