instructions, an answer sheet, and directions for mailing it in to be corrected.
This enables students to have a pretty good idea of how they would fare taking
the real GED. All of this comes in a shiny cardboard box that tends to change
shape a bit when shipped because there is too much empty space inside of it. The
box adds to the weight, and if you request it, I will remove the box and mail
the whole thing in a priority flat rate envelope for $4.50. These are the
only authentic practice tests. They are easy to use and come with step-by-step
directions to help recreate the experience of taking the GED. Purchase of these
materials entitles you to free personalized scoring. Help is available on line
or by toll-free phone. BTH-129. $15.76-D
