The speaker gives advice on preparing for the GED exam, suggesting specific courses for English, math, social studies, and science. They emphasize the importance of timed essay writing, Algebra 2, US history, biology, and earth science. They also mention that preparation courses can count as high school credits. Additionally, they recommend courses like "Epic Moments in World History" and "Ethnic Studies." The speaker plans to share a helpful link for further preparation. Okay, so GD, the English exam is a lot of writing, so doing English 1 to 3, we definitely prepare for that, but she should also do timed essay writing on a topic, that's very important. And then for math, they should actually do a little bit of Algebra 2 as well, but mostly pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Geometry, that's what is in there. So for social studies, they need to understand US history, US government and civics, mostly, and then there's like, I think, 15% World History and 10% World Geography or something in there. So doing the Intro to Geography and US History, yes. The World one, I might suggest rather doing, what's that course name, Epic Moments in World History, maybe that one, which is the easier course as well, and then US History and Civics technically. For science, for the science exam, it's mostly biology, and there are concepts of earth science in there, and some physical science, but it's mostly biology, so the best is to actually look at what is the content of the exam, and I don't know if you've ever seen that, it's one of our first homeschoolers in SA that she actually does the GED, she's a provider for the GED, but they don't live in SA anymore, she lives in Australia now, but her website had a very good explanation on what to, how to prepare, and I'm going to try and find it, and I'll send you the link, but it's good to look at what the actual content of the exams are, so for instance, math, they talk about basic math and basic algebra, graphs and functions and geometry, and then you need to be able to read for meanings for the English and identify and create arguments, and then grammar and language, and the written essay is 45 minutes, so I don't know if there's a limit or maximum amount of words or anything, I'm not sure about that, and science, so science is, they say that you are reading for meaning in science, but that's not what it actually is, it does cover, it is that, but it does cover a lot of geometry and biology content, and they need to be able to interpret science experiments and graphics and graphs and things that's given to them, and then social studies is analysing and reading for meaning again, and again, a lot of graphs that they provide and then they need to give statistical almost answers on the graphs that's provided. I'm going to try and find that link, she had a very good explanation on how to prepare for field trials when they are writing the GD at age 17, and what you should cover before that, so I'm going to try and find it, and send you the link, because those are the subject areas that I would focus on in our own school, so for the science, I would say something like life science and earth science from middle school is actually very important, and then even environmental science, but biology is the big one, so I would do biology, earth science, and if they haven't had any exposure to life science at all, I would maybe even consider doing life science, earth science, physical science, biology, because that's going to be the best bet, so let me find that link and I'm going to send you that, so what it does is basically, GD itself gives you the four credits for the core subjects, but everything that you use as prep before that, that can count as a high school credit, you can use, so for instance, pre-algebra, those ones are all usable, from pre-algebra and up, it's usable as a high school credit, English 1-3 is also, the interactive US history is a high school one, I'm not sure if there's an interactive world history, and then youth, government and civics is only a semester course, but they also have on Down Home School now is an ethnic studies course, which is also actually very good, it falls very much into the history of the states and how it's basically become what it is because of the various ethnic specificities in the country and in the current culture and how things are dealt with, you know, so it's actually a good course, I reckon it's also only a semester course, but for science, definitely biology and earth science, there's I think 10 or 15% of earth science questions in there, but the biggest part is biology, I can't remember if there's real chemistry questions, I think it's more, if they do physical science, which is generally an 8 or 9 grade credit subject, then they will have enough content in that, so that gives you 4 credits in a GED exam, but everything that you do before that, you know, gives you credit, so you would have 4 credits in all 4 of those areas at minimum, so you will have 4 English, 4 science, 4 history, 4 maths credits already, so you already have 2 credits more in the core area, you might even have more than that, you know, depending on what you use to prep, which can be used as elective credits, then they must do personal finance and health and 1 credit of PE, and then they will still need, what else, I think 4 credits or 2 credits, 12, 2 health, 6 electives, so the electives can be anything, I'm going to stop and go on, because otherwise the message becomes too long, and they store more questions that you added.
