GED Math Series 2014 | One not Two Parts

My understanding of the new GED 2014 series math test is………

I recently learned of another difference between the current 2002 series GED math test and the upcoming new 2014 series math test.

As you know, the current 2002 series math test is is two parts; part one is with a calculator and part two is without a calculator.

With the new series of GED starting in 2014, the math portion will have one part.  There will still be some without calculator questions.  Those questions will be found at the front of the test and once completed the remainder of the test can be taken with the use of the calculator.

As stated in a reply  back to me from the GED Testing Service Facebook......

GED Math Series 2014 | Multiple Choice Questions

My understanding of the new GED 2014 series math test is………

The multiple choice (MC) GED Mathematics test items will be similar, yet different from the 2002 series.  One difference is that currently in the 2002 series, the multiple choice items have 5 choices.  With the new 2014 series, the GED Mathematics Test will have 4 answer choices, not 5.

Multiple choice items can be used to measure proficiency in every area of the new math assessment targets.   From a teaching perspective, it means that as I prepare students for the math test there needs to be adequate examples on how the multiple choice items can and might be used

GED Mathematics Test 2014 | Item Types

My understanding of the new GED 2014 series math test is………

With the new GED test 2014, there will be new item types in the GED Mathematics test.  These item types can be summarized as multiple choice items, an assortment of technology-enhanced items, and close items.

Regardless of the type of item (problem), they will be designed to assess the skills of the GED mathematics assessment targets.   They will be designed so that each item can act individually or as part of a group (scenario).

The technology-enhanced items will include multiple select (the test-taker will identify two or three correct responses), fill-in-the-blank, cloze (used to select the correct math vocabulary or numeral value), hot spot (graphic items where test-takers can plot points on coordinate grids and number lines), and drag and drop.
