The GED® Social Studies Test assesses your comprehension, interpretation, and application of knowledge. These are separated into the following categories:
  • Topics covered in Civics and Government (50%) include the roles of citizens, the electoral system, levels and branches of the U.S. government, both historical and contemporary governments, and constitutional governance.
  • Topics covered in U.S. History (20%) range from colonization and the American Revolution to the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the contemporary age characterized by industrialization, immigration, two world wars, the Cold War, and equal rights movements.
  • Topics in economics (15%) include government policy and the economy, labor and retail finance, and fundamental economic theories and systems.
  • Topics related to geography and the globe (15%) include significant moments in global history as well as the interactions between societies, the environment, and resources.

  • Examining past occurrences and historical interpretations.
  • Reading comprehension for social studies classes.
  • Interpreting social studies-related graphs and statistics.
