I used to teach the GED. I'm a certified teacher in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with my education focusing on early years (Primary to 6) but having 3 years experience teaching math and sciences at the high school level. I also tutor 9-12 math, including advanced 10 and 11.
GoNSSAL.ca is the NS School for Adult Learning website. You can find out when the courses are offered and when the tests are as well. If you are a good self-motivator, you can buy the GED book here or this one here. I used both when teaching, but more the white/red one for some reason. They have great chapter summaries and practice tests.
If you need help with any of the math/science I am more than willing to help you. I can post videos to YouTube with explanations of concepts, email you extra worksheets, correct stuff you've done, or type out clarifications on things you might not get.
Best of luck with whatever you decide. I've seen some amazing people graduate the GED class, obtain their GED, and move on to some really great stuff. Some do it just to get it. Others want better jobs. Whatever the reason, you have help!
Ninja edit: If anyone else needs help, PM me. I love teaching math, so it's not a great deal of trouble. Or questions regarding the course/material/etc.
You're going to have to push through it, the GED is the minimum certificate of education for any job. You'd have a hard time working at McDonalds if you don't pass the GED.
Kaplan makes these GED prep books, I highly suggest you cram through one of these (links below), I'm only 13, but even I can understand these books.
Also, don't be afraid to google anything, there are tons of great online courses out there, one of he best hubs for online education is Udemy.com, they have tons of courses for any subject you can think of. Though, a word of advice, if the course you pick says it costs 100 dollars, wait for a sale they happen every week.
Here is the link to the GED prep 2017! book.

The GED ready will not score the essay portion. I think a solid intro, 3 paragraphs of different arguments, and a conclusion is fine. You could brush up on vocabulary through the academic word list, but that is tedious. Truthfully you become a better reader by reading a lot. Maybe try a Reading focused study book: https://www.amazon.com/Steck-Vaughn-GED-Preparation-Workbook-Reasoning/dp/0544274318/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1B8MUCQ8DD9X5&keywords=steck+vaughn+reasoning+through+language+arts&qid=1571774839&sprefix=steck+vaughn+reaso%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-1
Hey, I feel you. I have really bad (and professionally diagnosed) PTSD and anxiety with severe panic attacks from a terrible childhood. Your spelling is sharp for sure, you're already a lot of the way there! I just took the Language Arts, Social Studies and Science on Monday and I never studied for them. I literally booked the test online, went in 2 days later and got College Ready scores on all 3. It's mainly just reading comprehension and the essay is easy once you learn the parameters.
The best book I can recommend is the huge Kaplan GED book. You can get it on Amazon for under $20. It has pretty much all you need from the ground up. Combine this with Khan Academy, Youtube, Saylor Academy, Purple Math, The Math Dude, and other free online resources and you'll be ready in no time flat. In addition, there are some great paid resources as well such as The Great Courses Plus and Study.Com.

The most important thing is (and I struggle with this!) to remind yourself that it's going to take some time. Try to accept that early on and just go with the flow from there. Read up on the "Pomodoro Technique". It sounds funny but holy hell it works and works well!
I'm studying for the Math test currently. It was the only one I didn't take yet and that's because I haven't been in a math class for 22 years!
Good luck!
Guess I'll get the Kaplan book, because it seems like it gets recommended a lot.
I know this is a dumb question, but just want to be sure... Is this the right Kaplan GED book or am I looking at the wrong one?
https://www.amazon.com/GED-Test-Prep-2018-Strategies/dp/1506223621/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543620510&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=kaplan+ged+book+2018&dpPl=1&dpID=51qYrUuoDyL&ref=plSrch
It seems so. It's up to each province what test to use, but the 2014 GED used in the US is very US-centric, as opposed to the 2002 test that was developed by both countries. Here is the info on test prep for Ontario: http://www.ilc.org/ged/prep_main.php and for NL: http://www.ed.gov.nl.ca/edu/ged/ Both describe the 2002 test, and the books they link to are from 2002/2003. Even better news is that some of the books developed for that test are super cheap used- I know the school I worked at threw out a bunch of them when the new test came out. https://www.amazon.com/McGraw-HIlls-GED-Complete-Reliable-Program/dp/0071381791
Donate plasma, you will get more than enough to pay for the test in 2 weeks. The hiset is only 78. Just make sure you prep for it, a good resource unless your area has classes is the prep book you can find on Amazon -The Official Guide to the HiSET Exam, Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1259640795/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lTvGybZA52392
Donate plasma, order the book, study and keep donating to save for the exam and when you can score >12 on the practice tests, take the real test. But look into those classes first, they may be required (they are usually free).
Really, really easy. Pick up a practice book with practice tests if you need a confidence boost.
I got both of the kids this prep book and my daughter credits it with being a big help for her.
I use Kaplan usually. https://www.amazon.com/GED-Test-Prep-Plus-2019/dp/1506239439
There is also Barron https://www.amazon.com/Prepare-Test-Barrons-Book-Only/dp/1438007973/
And I am sure Amazon has quite a few other options, but those tend to be the most reputable.
Study up! There books out there to help. I bought the Kaplan GED 2016 book this past week and it's been helping me with math. It has all the subjects from math to language arts, but you can find books from Kaplan that focus on single subjects.
