GED Social Studies Basics for Beginners to Move Ahead

[@michellesupratman9978]

At around 14:12 the question asks about nations but you say history? Can you comment on this please? Should the question have asked about "history" rather than "nations'? I have been really enjoying your lessons. Just wanted to bring this to your attention, unless I missed something! The question is "What does the word nations mean in the passage above"

[@TestPrepChampions]

Wow, you're 100% correct. It should have been about history instead of nations. I can't believe I didn't catch that. Sorry for the confusion!

[@alaskangirl5064]

Yeah, I was stumped by this example as well. Thank you for clearing this up.

❤❤❤❤ I passed my social studies test today/ this morning with 148. Thanks a lot. It would have been higher, but working 16 hours and trying to study while at work and before was a struggle, but I passed that that is all that matters. All other tests as well. Your videos are the best. Last month, I passed my science with the help of your videos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ one left that is Math

@HORSE CRAZY thanks Maybe just some tips on how it's like...coz um kind freaking out

[@capslapsmac]

I got a 170 score on my RLA bc of watching your videos! I’m getting stuck on my History portion though because it’s a lot more to think about in this section but hopefully after watching your videos a few more times and taking practice quizzes I can have a better understanding.

[@TestPrepChampions]

Congratulations on your 170 on RLA! That's a really high score! I'm hoping social studies goes well for you too. Thank you for watching and good luck! I really appreciate your comment.

[@-lovecassy_333]

I just had my social studies ged test yesterday and I passed! Thank you soo much for your videos, they were very easy to understand and i honestly never minded you repeating something that seemed easy to me, because I know to someone else or other people, it may not seem as easy and we are each learning from a different pace and that’s completely ok. Thank you again, I just need math to go and I definitely will study with your math videos. Thank you and wishing you and your family a warm and cozy holiday

[@saraqueen4158]

A little advice for the people who are taking this GED step and are watching the video don't give up keep going no one can stop you but yourself 💪🏻 one more and that it for me Thanks you so much so far I was able to get math and social studies with in a month if it weren't for the endless loop and repetition id probably never pass so thank you

[@FelipeBarriles]

6:14 i understand why you are saying that its an opinion but the way its been going i see it as a fact and an opinion because the sentence has two subjects the "believe" and the context about the cure

[@kaylinrudolph9523]

another update, did my RLA last week and passed it. Thanks for all your help Parker. God bless you! Because of you, i was able to pass my first 2 exams, first try!

I took the ss test 2 times. 1st time failed by 10 points. Studied so much and took the test again after 60 days and failed by 2 points. I was so sad. I am going again next week. I'm so nervous because this is my last try for the year. You can only take the test 3 times in a year and if you fail you have to wait 60 days to retake the test. I have been looking for more updated videos so thank you for this

[@TestPrepChampions]

Sorry to hear you've had some setbacks with social studies. I really hope it goes better for you when you go again next week. Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience. Your perseverance will inspire others. Good luck, I'm pulling for you.

[@keiraengelbrecht6348]

Hi, so at about 6:26 in the video you give an example of a sentence where researchers make a prediction. While I can understand that a prediction is an opinion, doesn't the way the sentence is worded make it a fact? It says, "Researchers believe that we will have a cure for cancer by 2030." While this is a prediction of researchers, it also states that this is the belief of the researchers. Therefore, doesn't it work similarly to the reporting of a belief/opinion that someone else had made, making it a fact? Similarly to how the opinion was introduced in an earlier example by saying, "Parker said?" Please explain.

[@TestPrepChampions]

Hi, thank you for watching. Sorry for the confusion. I understand what you're saying. I may even go back and cut this example out of the video. I probably should have made the sentence say "We will have a cure for cancer by 2030" or something like that. The point I wanted to make is that a prediction is generally considered an opinion on the test.

[@TymFineWithMe]

I had the same issue with the stop sign in Delaware example before that. That is why I went into the comments before completing the video. Saying that a newspaper argues something sounds like a fact to me. Arguing it however seems like an opinion. I'm happy to be wrong, but not being sure is frustrating, since it adds more confusion. -Good comment @keiraengelbrecht6348

Hey parker i was wondering why ,B. Territories Lead by the Same Government, was not the corret answer in question two of video 9 of 16 besause if i understand correctly a nation wraped up in a nutshell is pretty much an exact match to answer choice B. How does a study of past events have a correlation to the definition of a nation. I am just alittle confused as to why a was the correct answer and not b.
