What should I do I need some one to help me study and I can't afford it neither my parents cant?

There are many things you can get done online. There are sample test questions and when you find ones you don't know you can look them up and get to know the subjects better. When researching never stop at just the answer if your reading an article keep going and learn from it.

If you have specific areas you either don't understand or just don't get then ask away.

This is where motivation is necessary. It's pretty affordable, in fact, it's free.

Make a schedule and be realistic about it. If right now, you're studying 0 hours a day, don't make up a schedule that says, "Study for 5 hours today." It just doesn't work that way.

Try studying for at least ONE hour a day.

Location: This is key. There are those that can study anywhere, and there are people like me. Myself, I can't study at ALL when I'm in my own apartment. I have to go somewhere. The library, a coffee shop, bookstore, etc. You find your own niche.

Distractions: Don't bring your friends. Leave your computer/laptop/game thing at home. Leave your cell phone in the car. For me, my cell phone is my biggest distraction. I'm on my phone roughly every 5 minutes... texting/e-mailing/talking... so whenever I study, I leave it at home or in the car, and tell myself that every HALF hour I study, I am allowed to go outside and check my phone.

When I was studying for the MAT, I bought study guides at a book store and also copied sample tests from the library's Barron's, etc. study guides. I timed myself, took the tests, and figured out what I needed to know. I did this over a three-month period, like Sneezy said, at reasonable periods with rewards when I followed my rules, and did exceptionally well when I finally took the exam. Of course, it's hard to learn stuff you don't know and never studied.

Sometimes like with certain subjects like math. Someone just doesn't get it until it is explained their way. Then the fireworks begin. There are so many ways to approach the same problem. And teachers today don't usually teach like that anymore. Its one way or the highway.

If you need a tutor, and have no financial means of finding one, you can always find volunteer tutors. I know many high school students who need volunteer hours that are willing to volunteer for free. Sometimes, a hot meal or running an errand for them, or bartering for some sort of a service can work.

Try putting an ad out on craigslist or your local classifieds ad and see what comes up.

And if your family is very poor, check with your welfare case worker who will most likely have help for you.

Have you been to the library. I went to my publice library and checked out a few GED study guides, and they really helped a lot.

K thanks lol
But ill talk to you on Yahoo when I get a chance cause no clue who is right
I hardly study

Everyone here is right, there is just more than one option to study for the GED test. I'm sure there's a public library in your town. That's what I did. You got to learn to study if you want to pass this test. It didn't take me much studying simply because I had almost graduated high school and I was just taking the test because I didn't have the time to finish my required credits to get a diploma.

Im not sure how it works near you but a GED is worth credits to get a diploma. At least it was way back when I was in school. They may still owe you that.

I don't really care anymore. It's been 5 years since I got it. It's the same thing.
