Make sure it's published after '02!
There have been two editions published with this same title.One was published in 1989, and the other, in 1995.I own the 1989 edition, and found it to be helpful in preparing to take the GED test.The book (I assume both editions) is a good test of High School level (or slightly higher) knowledge.It has a "Working Toward Success" section, giving practice problems in all of the test categories, as well as answers and explanations."How to Start Reviewing" is a portion with more practice questions and readings, that are more realistic to the GED questions (as of the edition publication).Then there are two separate "Practice Examinations", each including all five test subjects, and each followed by "Scoring and Explanations".
Unfortunately, I found that the GED test was changed in 2002, and some of the material in the 1989 edition is no longer useful.Some examples are: the test subjects are now divided differently, and the rules for the essay have been changed.It's also possible that the current tests include topics left uncovered in "You Can Pass the GED", or pass over some that are stressed in this book.Over all, it is a helpful book for reviewing High School subjects, but I would recommend that you either skip this book, or at least don't finish your study with it.Make sure your final study material comes from a book published after 2002. ...
