How much harder are the questions on other tests, such as the SAT versus the GED?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I am just wondering if the GED is equivalent to other tests like the PSAT, SAT or ACT or if the questions on the GED are way easier than the others.
Also, as far as I can tell, taking the placement testing at a community college sounds like it will be easier than the GED. Is this true? What is the placement testing called anyway… is it something I mentioned above & I just didn’t know it, lol?

The questions on the GED are obviously way easier than the questions found on exams such as the PSAT, SAT, or ACT. Basically, the GED is a high school equivalency exam saying you got down the basic content for a typical high school student. The PSAT, SAT, or ACT are testing your skills for college-level readiness. I’d say that’s pretty much dependent on a few factors, like a rigorous course load and how much you’ve retained from math, science, and English related courses.
College Placement exams can determine (if you score good enough) your college class placements. You can use them I heard to show you’ve basically got what it takes to have a GED but it’s only so easy in the beginning. For me, my test was an adaptive test that when you answered questions right they’d give you harder ones and determined what your skillset was in each particular category. Like in math, you could place into Calculus if you did really well by jumping through a bunch of subtests and getting good marks in them. There are different types of battery tests, but the one I took was the COMPASS. There’s one called the ASSET and I think another one is called the ACCPLAUCER.
