GED® Language Arts Practice Test 1: Foundational Skills
A full-length, test-day-style GED® Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA) practice exam: 46 questions modeled on the real blueprint, split into a Reading Comprehension section (informational and literary passages) and a Language & Editing section (grammar and conventions), with the Extended Response essay described in the lessons. It covers the core tested skills -- main idea and details, inference, author's purpose and tone, vocabulary in context, sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, punctuation, and commonly confused words -- at a foundational, easy-to-hard difficulty spread. Every question includes a worked explanation and a pro tip. Use the lessons to learn the test format (150 minutes, scored 100-200, 145 to pass) before taking the 46 questions as one timed rehearsal.
