General Education Development (GED) Practice Exam

The conclusion that nothing can be drawn due to the lack of initial testing is supported because without a baseline measurement, it is impossible to ascertain the effectiveness of the teaching methods. Initial testing would provide a point of reference to compare how much students' knowledge or skills have improved as a result of the different teaching approaches. Without this baseline, any observed differences between the classes could be attributed to various factors unrelated to teaching methods, such as differences in student engagement or prior knowledge. Therefore, the inability to reach a valid conclusion stems from the absence of initial data to assess progress or change over time.
