What Does the Writing Test Look Like?
The GED Language Arts Writing Test has two parts:
- Part I assesses the students knowledge of the conventions of written English.
- Part II assesses the students ability to write an original essay.
The test is 120 minutes long. Candidates may use the first 75 minutes to answer the 50 multiple-choice questions in Part I, with the remaining 45 minutes to write the essay in Part II. Candidates who finish the multiple-choice section before the 75 minutes are up may use the additional time to work on the essay. Likewise, if a candidate completes the essay in less than 45 minutes and wishes to return to Part I, he or she may do so.
