I just want to tell you that you're not alone. A lot of people had trouble understanding math... and once you start missing things, you get quickly left behind and can't catch up. It doesn't mean you're stupid. Most people come out of high school thinking "learning" is something hard and boring, but it doesn't need to be. There are new innovations all the time to make learning easier and better for everyone. Find a program that will let you study at your own pace that will explain things clearly and easily. You'll get there! I wanted to give you some resources about text anxiety, too. That's a tough problem for a lot of people. Here are some websites that give information about test anxiety and how to deal with it: http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/PRAXIS/pdf/01361anxiety.pdf http://www.studygs.net/tstprp8.htm http://www.how-to-study.com/testanxiety.htm Take the plunge! Make a commitment to get your GED... almost a half a million people do it every year. Hi, Josie. I just want to tell you that you’re not alone.

My husband is in the military and will be leaving for 6wks and my daughter will be going to stay with my family for the duration of his absence. So i figure i would use those six weeks to try and achieve my long over due goal. My last grade finished was 11th grade but I never past but one math course in highschool. I think i took special math classes and still never passed those. I think my 11th grade year I went to a school that allows you to go to school half a day and work the rest of the day that was when i found a teacher who taught me one on one some basic math and i actually had an understanding for it. Complications then evaded my life cause me to leave school. I want to be a good example for my daughter but I get test anxiety and have a fear of failing and looking stupid for asking to be taught something i feel i should know. That and I know that I would like to test in an enviroment that doesnt have a bunch of thugs tryen to fight in classes. Hello my name is Josie,
