In this GED Social Studies class, we explore the four major content areas that make up the GED Social Studies test: civics and government, United States history, economics, and geography and the world. Civics and government concepts, which constitute about half of the test content, are emphasized through discussions of how government works and the roles of citizens in a democratic society. Meanwhile, historical topics and economic and geographic reasoning are woven into activities that challenge students to draw connections between past events and present-day issues.


A key focus of this GED Social Studies class is developing analytical skills such as reading for meaning, evaluating evidence, and making informed conclusions. During the lecture, students will work with primary and secondary source extracts, interpret data in graphs and tables, and assess arguments based on evidence—skills that reflect the reasoning tasks emphasized on the GED Social Studies test. These practice activities help students strengthen their ability to think critically instead of relying on rote memorization.


By the end of the GED Social Studies class, learners will not only feel more confident about the content areas but also more adept at handling the variety of question formats found on the GED Social Studies test. Whether analyzing a political cartoon, interpreting a timeline, or answering evidence-based questions, this practice session equips students with the strategies needed to succeed. Ultimately, this lecture supports learners in preparing for the exam and builds the social science literacy necessary for informed citizenship beyond the classroom.
