Your Free 8-Week GED Study Plan

Prefer Spanish or Arabic? Open the study app on the homepage and use the language switcher — everything is fully trilingual there.

Aim for five focused sessions each week. If a week feels too fast, repeat it—the plan should fit your life, not fight it.

WEEKS 1–2: Find your starting point

Try sample questions in all four subjects. Mark the skills—not just the questions—that slow you down.

WEEKS 3–4: Build the foundation

Study your two weakest skill groups. Use short lessons, then solve questions without notes.

WEEKS 5–6: Practice under time

Mix easy and hard questions. Practice skipping, returning, and checking your reasoning.

WEEKS 7–8: Rehearse test day

Take timed practice by subject. Review every mistake and schedule only when your results are steady.

Each study session (60 minutes)

• Learn · 20 min: One concept, explained clearly
• Practice · 25 min: Questions without looking at notes
• Review · 15 min: Explain each mistake in your own words
