GED Science About the test pg. 495

The GED® Science Test evaluates your ability to understand, interpret, and apply science information. You will have 90 minutes to answer 34 questions that are based on reading passages, graphics such as diagrams, tables, graphs, and maps, or a combination of the two. You will need a minimum score of 145 to pass the Science Test, which is one of the four tests you will need to pass in order to earn a high school equivalency diploma.

In addition to testing your understanding of science passages and graphics, Science Test questions are based on your understanding of skills that are used in scientific study and investigation. These skills are called Science Practices. The science practices include the following:

• Comprehend Scientific Presentations to interpret passages and graphics.
• Use the Scientific Method to design investigations, reason from data, and work with findings.
• Reason with Scientific Information to evaluate conclusions with evidence.
• Apply Concepts and Formulas to express scientific information and apply scientific theories.
• Use Probabilities and Statistics in a science context.

Many science investigations use mathematics. For that reason, there will be math questions on the GED® Science Test.
Although you do not have to use a calculator, you may use either a handheld version or an on-screen version of the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator on the Science Test. Some problems will say: You MAY use your calculator. When you see that language, the calculator icon appears at the top of the screen. If you cannot remember how to use the calculator, you can open the online Calculator Reference Sheet.
