Their votes are counted/tallied in each state GEG social studies test terms to know: -Primary Election: Candidates within each party compete against each other to win their party’s nomination. -Debate: An event in which presidential candidates discuss/argue why they would be the best president -Delegate: An elected representative sent to a party convention. Delegates from each state select each party’s candidate. -Incumbent: The current president -Convention: An event held at the end of a primary season when the delegates select the party’s candidate -Polls :Candidates/parties use opinion polls to try to find out which issues matter the most to a large number of voters. Candidates/parties also use polls to help predict who will win the election -Popular vote: Total number of votes a candidate gets -Electoral college: Each state is worth a specific amount of electoral votes -A study note on term Limits: Each president serves a 4 year term. The limit is 2 terms total (i.e. 8 years)

Hello guys, I send send my congratulations to all those of you who say for the GED and made it. I have a friend who will like to know how to register himself for the GED examination in France since there isn't a GED center there.

[@Brooklyn305m]

[@zuzannar2519]

Thank u so much for making me understand.

[@njeshkymani9656]

Is this a summary of what they test consists or is there more?new to this ty

[@Whispersandwords-vault]

To solve question 2 on my own, do I have to memorise which state is which to identify them?

[@nuura2555]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@nachoboi26]

Question 3, if the electoral votes is less than 120, the answer will still be A since electoral votes is the most important matter to determine which candidate can be the president?

[@janah2584]

Thank you

[@TestPrepChampions]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@ashtonsanfelice8209]

[@unespc]

Hello, I'm 17 years old. Can I take an online test?!

[@TestPrepChampions]

I'm not sure, sorry. Please contact the GED Testing Service.

[@missminagirl8150]

So basically, electoral votes win over popular votes. 10:48

[@TestPrepChampions]

Correct

[@ChiragSonne]

Kanye West????!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@tng5598]

I am sure there is a history of the popular vote and electro college system, but this system is so crazy, complicated and not making sense. It should be a popular vote system period.

[@belkizaguinaga5032]

It’s hard

[@anienielethaanoynomoue8076]

Why you have trump and Biden? Was not Obama a president?

[@bg.fenrir6905]

Obama already served 2 terms. He is not eligible to be president anymore.

[@eded1502]

Current president is Biden

[@isaachartsell3574]

God bless Trump
