GED® Social Studies Practice Test 1: Foundational
A full-length, test-day-style GED® Social Studies practice exam: 35 questions modeled on the real blueprint, weighted toward Civics & Government (about half the test) with U.S. History, Economics, and Geography, and built around documents, maps, and charts. It covers the core tested ideas -- the three branches, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, checks and balances, key events in U.S. history, supply and demand, and map skills -- 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 (70 minutes, scored 100-200, 145 to pass) before taking the 35 questions as one timed rehearsal.
