I can help you out with the algebra crap I may not remember a couple things but you know math is my best subject. Hopefully you remember all the other crap tho, cause I know I wont be able to help you with it lol ---

Iwent for my ged a couple months ago and it was pretty easy. As long as you remember most of the stuff from when you went to school your good. For me i was in a rush and failed one part of the test by 10 points. Now i have to go back and retest. ---

loljeg. Good luck though, I’m sure if you just take it seriously and do some of those refreshers you shouldn’t have a problem. Especially if you were an A student before you dropped out… ---

Consider yourself ahead of some college students right now. I’m 25 grand in the hole with an associates degree, my girlfriend is 45 grand in the hole for a 4 year degree and top 10 in her graduating class. Neither of us have found work in our fields. We have no less than 200 applications around the entire country right now. We both have jobs that we hate, but they pay our bills and offer good benefits. We aren’t going to settle for it however. ---

I would say other than math and english, highschool is a complete waste of time(As far as academics are concerned, definately needed for social life lol). And 100 level classes in college pretty much go over everything you learned anyways… yea… 7 hour days, 5 days a week in highschool :cjerk: i go to class @ college 3 days a week for 4 hours a day and have 4 months of breaks Even if you dont feel like you need a degree, just go to college so you know how retarded highschool is, and how much bullshit they put in your head lol ---

Im not talking shit by any means but I never understood why people drop out of highschool. Especially to work… because in the long run, that’s all you’re going to be doing for the rest of your life… especially with no degree. But total :tup: to getting your ged. I know a lot of people who have taken it, sadly, but every single one of them passed without studying. ---
