This will allow the YouTube algorithm to promote the new video like it did last week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🎉 Click here to...

Hello, my friends! A few weeks ago, I shared science concepts that you just need to know. Ya'll liked it and asked for more! So.... here is a similar video about SOCIAL STUDIES!! To be honest, the GED/HiSET social studies test has a lot of reading; however, there are some concepts that you just need to know. That is why I created this video. 🤗 🎉 Click to watch my recent video: The "Need to Know Social Studies" video comes with a recommended purchase bundle containing additional 30 questions,...

Hello, my friends! Last week I was teaching the most important reading concept to my students, and they told me that I need to create a video about it so they could practice. What is it....... MAIN IDEA!! Honestly, if you can identify the main idea of a passage, you will score significantly higher on the reading, science, AND social studies tests. In this week's video, I teach you about main idea, the purpose, and key points to remember. Of course, we will practice! We review main ideas of a...

Hello, my friends! When I was a kid, I remember that dreaded feeling in my stomach when it was "back to school." I had enjoyed a carefree summer, and then it was time to start school again and loose my freedom. I was entering into the unknown with a new teacher (elementary school) or even worse, a new school (middle school and high school). But things are different with adult education. Now, I am actually thrilled for the first day of school. I don't have that dread and fear, but instead I'm...

Hello, my friends! Honestly, the GED/HiSET science test is mostly reading and critical reasoning. In other words, if you do well on the social studies and reading/RLA, you will likely do well on the science! 🤗 That said..... there are some science questions that you just need to know! My recent video covers topics such as earth and space science, chemistry, biology, and physical science. I go over science questions that cannot be figured out just by reading a passage. These are concepts that...
