What is Study Island GED?
www.studyisland.com/ged
Study Island GED is designed with you in mind. Study Island offers products for all five GED modules: Reading, Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Every GED practice question features a custom explanation that provides immediate feedback and instruction. Also, just like the actual GED Test, each practice question is tied to a specific cognitive level, which is labeled in the question’s explanation. This ensures that test-takers will be fully prepared for the test.
Study Island GED is fun and engaging because questions can be taken in a traditional test mode or an exciting game mode. Our Writing portion also offers the classic multiple choice format as well as additional writing prompts and a 4-point holistic scale for students and teachers to score writing.
Not only are there several hundred questions in each Study Island GED module, but each question constantly changes. The answers to the multiple-choice questions rotate positions, and the numbers presented in the Math questions are randomly generated, resulting in a deeper understanding of the concepts, as opposed to memorization of the answers.
