Hi
My name is emmanuel and I'm currently and a 18 year old drop out from high school
I dropped out when I was 16 cause I was getting in too much trouble and I was getting bad grades in school ,well I have been working ever since then and now I see tha way the economy is going I'm trying to get into a better job ,join the army .but in order to do that I need the ged to enlist ,my question is how hard is the ged and what websites available to get ready for the test ,I mean I do have the book I can't seem to get the information to sink in, I want to know if there's a certain study material or a good study method to obtaining info from the book... im really desperate to pass the test and paying 50 dolllars to then fail it isn't going to help... please help thank u godbless and takecare

I got my GED In 2007 I dropped out in 2005, I didn't even study which I am not telling you that you should do there are plenty of web sites you should probably contact the school though and talk to the counseler where you are going to take the test, For me the GED test was very easy you have to take pre-test before you actually take the real test and that to me was harder that the actual test but it is just really basic stuff reading writing etc. If you are really willing to try then you will do just fine I got so worked up about mine, but it turns out I graduated with honers from the GED and I would never have done that in high school, not to mention I got a pale grant to go to school, It is very simple you will do just fine! Good Luck in your future!

I can't say if it is hard or not,I have a daughter who is messing around with the GED stuff(dropped out on the ex's watch)

From what I have been able to fathom from her dissertation,she has spent some time with tutors to get through things I have no Idea about,so I would have to say there is help out there for assistance,, the result!! YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND FIND THAT WHICH WILL HELP YOU THE MOST!
