Cracking the GED, 2001 Edition

The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach you everything there is to know about math, English, or analytic thinking -- only the techniques you'll need to score higher on the GED. There's a big difference. In Cracking the GED, The Princeton Review will teach you how to think like the test makers.

This is accomplished by teaching you how to:
Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
Work backward from the answer choices to solve writing skills problems
Crack the social studies and science sections without memorizing hundreds of facts
Tackle the math sections by "backsolving" your way to the right answers

*This book includes 2 full-length, simulated GED exams with questions that are just like the ones you'll see on the actual GED.
