Free interactive GED labs

GEDPilot has 16 free GED labs. Each one lets you practise a question format used on the real test: drag and drop, drop-down, fill-in-the-blank, select an area or the essay. Every lab matches a lesson in the book. Start in Practice mode for hints, then switch to Test-style mode to check yourself.

Where to start

  • Math makes me nervous: Start with the calculator, because Part 2 of the math test gives you one. Then work percents, which show up in everyday word problems.
  • The essay worries me: Practise judging arguments first, then plan and draft against the 45-minute clock.
  • I struggle with graphs and data: Science and Social Studies both ask you to read charts, tables and maps. Start with the graph reader, then the map reader.
  • Grammar and editing: The RLA test uses drop-down items to fix sentences. Practise them in short workplace documents.

Practice mode and test-style mode

  • Practice mode: You get a hint when you ask, feedback after each step, and a message that names the likely mistake when an answer is wrong. Use it when a skill is new or shaky. Mistakes here are how you learn.
  • Test-style mode: You answer a short set first. Then you see one result and the worked steps for every item. Use it to check a skill without help, the way the real test works.

GED question types by subject

  • Mathematical Reasoning (115 minutes): Multiple choice, drag and drop, fill-in-the-blank, select an area, drop-down. Tools: Formula sheet and calculator reference sheet; on-screen calculator on Part 2 only.
  • Reasoning Through Language Arts (150 minutes, including 45 minutes for the essay): Multiple choice, drag and drop, select an area, drop-down, plus one extended response (essay). Tools: No calculator.
  • Science (90 minutes): Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, drag and drop, select an area, drop-down. Tools: On-screen calculator and calculator reference sheet.

A first-attempt plan

  • Take the free 32-question GEDPilot diagnostic to see which subject needs you most.
  • Pick that subject’s labs and work them in Practice mode until the hints feel unnecessary.
  • Switch to Test-style mode. Two clean rounds in a row is a good sign the skill is sticking.
  • Read the matching lesson for anything you keep missing, then come back to the lab a few days later.
  • Before you book, take the official GED Ready practice test. GED Testing Service calls a 145–200 result “Likely to Pass” (green).

Questions and answers

  • Are the GEDPilot labs free? Yes. All 16 labs are free to use in your browser, and you do not need an account. The lessons they link to are in the book and the GEDPilot workspace; Lesson GP-M01 is a free sample.
  • Are these real GED test questions? No. The problems and passages are practice material written for GEDPilot. A few labs also use public U.S. government data or founding documents, credited on those pages. The labs copy the question formats the GED test uses, not its questions. GED.com publishes the official test information.
  • Which lab should I start with if math scares me? Start with calculator practice. Part 2 of the math test gives you an on-screen calculator, so knowing the key sequences is a quick confidence boost. Then try the percent and formula sheet labs, which cover common word problems.
  • What is the difference between Practice and Test-style mode? Practice mode gives hints and step-by-step feedback. Test-style mode asks you to answer a short set first and then shows one result with worked steps, which is closer to the real test.
  • Will the labs tell me if I am ready to pass? No. Lab results are practice, not official scores or predictions. The official practice test is GED Ready; GED Testing Service rates a score of 145 to 200 as Likely to Pass (green). To test online, you need a green GED Ready result in that subject within the last 60 days.
  • Can I use the labs with a keyboard or a screen reader? Yes. Every control has a label, works with the keyboard and shows a visible focus ring. Each drag-and-drop task also has select menus or buttons, so you never have to drag.
