Business Documents

All GED exams include at least one business document.

This may be a memorandum, report, e-mail, or other

business text. Here are some tips for dealing with ques￾tions about business documents:

1. Remember that business documents are written

for specific audiences and for specific purposes.

Determine the specific audience and the reason

for the communication.

2. Business documents are often written so specific

actions will be taken. Are there any specific

instructions or steps to follow? Look for lists and

other clues regarding things to do or understand.

3. If a business document is making an argument,

look for support. What facts or ideas are used to

support the main idea?
