Frequently Asked Questions
The GED (General Educational Development) is a high school equivalency credential recognized by employers and colleges nationwide. Students in Memphis pursue the GED for various reasons—whether they left traditional high school early, need to accelerate their education, or are working toward career advancement. Passing the GED demonstrates mastery of high school-level skills in math, science, social studies, and language arts.
The GED consists of four subtests: Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA), Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. Each section is computer-based and timed, testing both foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills. The entire test takes about 7 hours across multiple sessions, and you need a score of 145 or higher on each subtest (out of 200) to pass.
Many students struggle with the math section, which requires algebra, geometry, and data analysis skills—especially if they've been away from academics for a while. Time management is another major challenge, as the test is fast-paced and requires quick problem-solving. Additionally, balancing GED prep with work or family responsibilities can make consistent studying difficult without structured support.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's fractions, reading comprehension, or test-taking strategy—and focus exclusively on those gaps. Unlike classroom settings where instruction moves at a fixed pace, personalized tutoring adapts to your learning speed and style, helping you build confidence and master challenging concepts before moving forward. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement and better test scores.
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of consistent preparation, though this varies based on your starting knowledge level and how frequently you study. Some students who are already strong in most subjects might prepare in 6-8 weeks, while others rebuilding foundational skills may need 4-6 months. Working with a tutor helps you create a realistic timeline based on your current abilities and target test date.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to identify your strengths and areas needing improvement across all four GED subtests. The tutor will discuss your goals, test timeline, and learning preferences to create a customized study plan. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session focuses on the skills and concepts that will have the biggest impact on your score.
Look for tutors who have strong subject expertise in the GED's core areas—math, science, language arts, and social studies—along with proven experience helping students pass the test. Ideally, they understand the specific test format and timing pressures, and can teach both content knowledge and test-taking strategies. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have the background and track record to help you succeed.
Tutoring costs vary based on the tutor's expertise, your location in Memphis, and how frequently you meet. Most students find that investing in personalized tutoring pays off through faster progress and higher test scores, which can open doors to better job opportunities and educational pathways. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss pricing options and find a tutoring plan that fits your budget and timeline.
