GED® Social Studies Practice Test 3: Expert

The hardest of the early-tier GED® Social Studies practice exams, for students who have cleared Levels 1 and 2. Same test-day format -- 35 questions weighted toward Civics, with History, Economics, and Geography, 70 minutes, scored 100-200 (145 to pass) -- but the items sit at the top of the range: landmark Supreme Court cases, the Federalist debate, reserved vs. enumerated powers, fiscal and monetary policy, primary-source analysis, and cause-and-effect chains across U.S. history. Every question includes a worked explanation and a pro tip.
