The GED language arts question is not always the same question,every time you fail and retry it’s different every time, so be prepared for different questions, but the same concept apply to every questions.

I need help. I took a practice test, and I scored 124 which is feel bad.

That is one heck of a good essay, I am taking notes and preparing for my RLA test which i take in 3 hours. Thank you for this.

Very appreciate it...thank you!

@David Cohen I have trouble writing essay with proper sentences and grammar in my GED. so can you suggest me

Can I pass if I got 150 on ready , but 0 on essay??

If I got 150 on ready test that means only for the multiple choice eassay doesn’t include?

I have a question please
In the ged ready exam, do the count the score for an essay even they did not give us score report? Any one have an idea please respond

Get "zero" points. Why even do it!

So in the essay we only state who has the better argument ? Based on their evidence. Is it necessary to mention the one who doesn’t have a better argument. ??

Next month for me, it's both Science ( 🧪 🧫 🧬 🔬 🔭 📡) 'N Social Studies (📜🌏🗺🌎).


From, Justin Maduako

I passed science, Math, and Social Studies. I have one left RLA.

So when I test it will be the daylight savings time article ? Or is it random ?

Hi, do you think I can write the essay in Spanish ?

I did a portion of the writing and there is no way I didn't get anything there I did it twice I got 136.137 what does it mean with that 0/2 3 times?? I

Sir can u make a video about how to note or spot the 3 reasons it is really hard and i dobt know how to.Sometimes both give good evidance but i dont know which to pick.. please help!!!

The essay isn’t really hard as you think. The introduction is pretty easy then the body paragraphs you just gotta look for evidence like facts, date studies, or data. Then the conclusion is pretty easy like the introduction. Last time I took it I didn’t even finish till like the 3rd paragraph and I still scored 2/6 but ended up with a 144. Lol

I scored 136 today on the reading test😔

How do I get the person to grade my essay? I don't see an option for that on the website.

so lets say they give us two stories and we have to agree with one of the stories , do we have to agree on one topic or two??

I can't believe I'm paying them $37 and they can't even be bothered to have a person grade it.

I have failed twice got 137 at first then 143, today am taking the third time am so nervous.

Passed my language arts test today on the first try. I’ve watched every video you have over the last two days and it really helped me accomplish my goal. Thank you for everything!!!

I just passed my GED RLA, thank for posting these types of videos.

Thank you

This is my last exam..looking hard

Ur a lifesaver David . Thank you !

I passed the test with a score of 153, but earned 0/6 points on the written response portion. This is all the stuff they said I did wrong. Lmk if this helps someone…

Does this apply to the TASC test?

I use this video and I pass my GED 🙏🏿

Is it required to double space for each paragraph in the beginning? Or can I just start a paragraph without having to double space it

Can I use spimple gramma, simple words for essay? And what is the argument usually talking about?

I would like to know if you are tutoring ?? Please

I have taken all my ged tests and passed all but the RLA I keep getting 143 on it’s and 0-6 on the easy I have taken the text twice

I took my Language Arts GED test today. I've been watching your videos, especially this one since writing the essay had me a little nervous. I got a 5 out of 6 on my essay, and a total score of 170! Thank you for the videos, they have helped me so far, and not only on this test, but I also passed my Math and Science test. One more to go.

If i skip the essay and only answer the multiple choice questions I will be able to pass ?

Thank you for the motivation and encouragement!! I'm going for my ged soon,I'm just trying to prepare my brain with skills that I lost over time. So thank you for your help.

What the point than

Hello David, I'm looking for someone to 'critique' and 'grade' my essay writing in advance of taking the GED RLA portion. Is this something you offer or could you recommend someone? My goal is not to 'pass', but to get a 'perfect' score. The few places I have seen that offer this service do not seem to speak English as a first language and the guidance they offer is minimal. I would appreciate any advice you could offer. Thank you for your videos, they have been extremely informative. Looking forward to your guidance regarding an essay prep review. Thank You

I'm thriving to write to write my ( RLA) please advice. Thank you, I appreciate your 2 senses

I wish I did my homework in high school. I can't wait to get my GED so I can get a good government job and live the good life.

I love this video
