The document discusses myths and facts about the GED essay section. It states that test takers have 120 minutes total for the writing section, not just 45 minutes, and they can use scrap paper to outline their essay. It also notes that to pass the writing section, a test taker must earn a score of 2 points, not just 1 point. Additionally, if a test taker does not pass the essay, they must retake both portions of the writing section, not just rewrite the essay.
