After being recruited into GED’s top secret organization your training begins. Your mission, should you accept it, is to prepare for the math test. You have trained to use the strategies of process of elimination, plug-in, substitution along with math fact and preparation. Our training cadre has prepped you with the skills necessary for the GED math test.
You have run the simulations of the test center and actual tests. Your mind and body are prepared for the test. D hour will be tomorrow at 9 am. By 11 am you have retrieved the test score needed successfully and ex-filtrated the test center.
All of this is very nice! You put some effort and your belief that you would not fail into it. But how did it come about? It came about because of your:
-
Training
-
Practice
-
Learning test strategies
-
Guidance from a mentor
-
Just doing what you were told
You were told what to do. You were shown why. When you did do what you were told success came. The training was the practice tests and problem solving you were required to do. It’s one thing to take a test. It’s another thing to go over your mistakes and the questions you didn’t answer. It means you aren’t having your time wasted on what you know. Your mentor is dealing with what you don’t know.
No one is feeling sorry for you. Your mentor isn’t interested in having you fail. So hold on tight for the ride to success. You quickly learn that the mentor knows math. Worst yet, they can teach it! If you wanted to know something about math that wasn’t on the GED test, they quickly told you it wasn’t on the test. Math appreciation is not what your mentor’s goal is. It’s passing the GED math test.
So you went through the training, endured the practice, applied the strategies, remembered what the mentor said and took the test. Back at mission center you ask if your mentor know science.
“Yes,” he say. “I do.” He starts to put your mission package together. You going to have a series of labs and class work. Don’t forget test practice and test strategies also. “You want a break before we get started?”
“No!” You reply. You wonder how long it will take you this time.
