How will the math portion of the test be handled? And will scratch paper and hand-held calculators still be used?
During a computer-based testing session with the GED Tests, each test-taker will receive a wipe-able scratch sheet, instead of scratch paper. Think of this as a large sheet of paper that functions like a dry erase board. This allows the test-taker to always have a fresh supply of writing space, but won’t allow them to leave the testing center with notes or sensitive test information. The calculator available for use on the calculator-allowed portion of the 2002 Series GED Mathematics Test will continue to be the handheld calculator used today. This is true for both the paper-based version and the computer-based version of the test.
