The best thing I can recommend is to look at your local PBS station for the GED Course. It’s free and complete.

You really should go to your local Community College to get some assistance. They should offer classes that teach the test.

It is going to be significantly more difficult than you think. You really need some outside help.

And I am curious. Would you ever write, “my lil bro and with me helping is gonna search the web, we’re gonna go to multiplication, all the way to whats needed in the GED, and all subjects thats on it.” on something you were graded on?

He’s 16, And Droped out of 7th grade last year. from never going to school, and tired of school threating to take him and my mom to court, so he just droped out

I dropped out at the beginning of my senior year. I was home schooled my freshman year and it turns out that the program I was in wasn’t accredited. I learned this at the beginning of my senior year. I didn’t want to go back for a fifth year so I dropped out.

Luckily the Community College had a Adult High School program. I was able to get a diploma in half the time it would have taken. This was a real diploma and not a GED. My high school even paid for it.

Some more info on the GED if you want to go that route.

I agree with @johnpowell‘s recommendation about the adult high school program. Taking the GED is not something you can cram for, and in many ways, studying for the GED on your own can be very hard.

It’s really admirable that you want to coach him through the process; he’s lucky to have your support and commitment. The amount of catch-up work that he will have to do between 7th grade classroom work he was doing and a 12th grade equivalency is 5 years of school work. There are workbooks that you can buy at the bookstore, but basically he will have to cover Algebra I, Geometry, English grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension.

Don’t let him get discouraged. If it seems like too much work, remember: the way to eat an elephant is one bite at time.
