You don't need to re-learn 4 years of high school to pass the GED or HiSET.
The GED and HiSET give you the formula sheet, the TI-30XS calculator, and all the reading passages right on screen. Here is how to pass one subject at a time.
The 5-step GED & HiSET fast-track plan
Take and pass the 3 Reading-Based tests first (Science, Social Studies, RLA)
You don't have to take all 4 GED subjects on the same day! Science and Social Studies require almost zero memorization—they test reading graphs, finding main ideas, and spotting bias in historical documents. Pass those first to build fast confidence.
Master the TI-30XS MultiView calculator before GED Math
On Part 2 of GED Math (40+ questions), you get the on-screen TI-30XS calculator. Knowing the [n/d] fraction button, the [table] button for functions, the [%] key, and the toggle [<>] key between fractions and decimals is worth 20+ points alone!
Focus your Math study on the 4 core GED pillars
Don't waste weeks on obscure trigonometry. 85% of GED Math is: (1) Fractions, Ratios, and Percents, (2) Slope (m = rise/run) and Linear Equations (y = mx + b), (3) Plugging numbers into the provided Geometry Formula Sheet, and (4) Reading Graphs/Mean/Median.
Use the 4-Paragraph Template for the RLA Extended Response Essay (45 min)
When given two opposing articles, pick the side with stronger concrete evidence (facts, statistics, studies—not emotions). Write: (1) Intro + Thesis, (2) Why Writer A's evidence is strong, (3) Why Writer B's argument has flaws/fallacies, and (4) Conclusion.
