  3. PART IV The GED Science Exam I N THIS SECTION, you will learn all about the GED Science Test. The first chapter explains how the exam is structured—what the questions are like and what topics they cover. Knowing what to expect will make you more confident and comfortable on the day of the exam; there will be no surprises. Chapters 21 through 28 review the basic information you need to know about science and scientific inquiry for the GED exam. Chapter 29 offers specific tips for the test, and Chapter 30 provides 75 practice questions like those you will find on the GED. Before you begin Chapter 20, take the pretest that follows. The questions are similar to the questions you will find on the GED. When you are finished, check the answer key care- fully to evaluate your results. Your performance on the pretest will help you determine how much preparation you need and what subjects you will need to review and practice most. 2 03
