He was homeschooled prior to high school.

That's why the test was a "piece of cake"

I don’t know if it’s the same in each state but it does change constantly. I’ve heard that it’s super easy but that the reason classes are offered is because many who take it were very far behind before they dropped out.

Then I had educators from out of state saying that it was a very hard test and one where a lot of studying would be required.

What's their definition of "very hard"? Being able to say "Would you like fries with that?" in seven different languages?

Seriously, though, it shouldn't be that hard of a test, unless someone is a complete idiot.

I dropped out not long before graduation in 1960. In 1978 I took the GED, just walked in, no prep. I was the tech center valedictorian that year. It was supposed to be a 3 day exam, I started at 9AM, turned in my last papers before 2PM. As I left, the proctor asked me not to give up so easily, go back and spend some more time. He didn’t believe me when I told him I was finished.

Here’s a thread I started a couple of years ago.

Our homeschooled daughter asked to take it before what would have been her senior year. I did a little research and bought her Cracking the GED, a test prep book, just so she would go into the test with an idea of the procedures. She aced the test. She said it was easy.

I liked the book, BTW, and recommend it.
