GED® Social Studies Practice Test 5: Elite
The fifth and hardest full-length GED® Social Studies practice exam -- the elite tier, for students who have cleared Levels 1-4 and want the toughest possible rehearsal. Same test-day format -- 35 questions weighted toward Civics, with History, Economics, and Geography, 70 minutes, scored 100-200 (145 to pass) -- but every item sits at the ceiling of the range: social-contract theory and the Federalist reasoning, comparing and evaluating primary sources, judicial activism vs. restraint, comparative advantage and policy trade-offs, and the tragedy of the commons. Every question includes a worked explanation and a pro tip.
