I was Homeschooled , education was never that important to me when i was school age. My parents fell on hard times , and could’nt pay for my homeschool program anymore and I didnt graduate. It did’nt really bother me because I had a job suitable enough to support myself. Then I met my wife , she didnt know that i did’nt have a hsd , one time my brother asked me if i was going to get my ged infront of her. I was so afraid she would be upset . She was’nt , but she did encourage me , we were married for 6 years before i got up the nerve to call the free ged class offered in my town . I was 29 years old now and very afraid , but i felt like I owed it to myselfe and to my wife and two daughters. I took the class and my teacher said he felt I was ready after 3 months of class , so i took the class and passed the first time! My wife was so proud and she een had a graduation party for me with all my friends and family . The County i recieved my ged from even had a graduation cap and gown ceremony . Im so happy and now my wife and I can both tell our children to stay in school and I wont look like 2 faced.

The hardest part for a lot of people is motivation! One of the keys to getting your GED is breaking up what you need to do into small parts and pieces. Have you taken a GED practice test? Because you might find you don’t need to study EVERYTHIING. At least, you’ll get an idea where you are now. If you can pass any of the tests, great! Those are off your plate. You can even take the GED to get the tests you’re ready for over with. Then, just focus on one GED subject (the easiest one that you still need to study), and just focus on one task at a time. That’s how things get done: one little piece at a time. Don’t think about the BIG OVERWHELMING TASK. Just think about *today’s* little task. “Today, I’m trying to figure out multiplying fractions.” “Today, I’m trying to figure out how to get started on my essay.” If you think about it, improving your math and writing skills (and all sorts of other GED skills) are useful in your life and to workout your brain, so doing today’s little task is worthwhile in itself. Being “in the now” will help you focus and learn, and the big picture will come into focus, too, without you worrying about it.

Hey, keep writing to us, to let us know how it’s going. If you keep with it, you’ll find a lot of rewards in the end! Think about checking out GED classes at the adult school or community college nearby, too. Even if the classes aren’t so helpful, you might be able to connect with other GED students, and you can form a study group or just a motivation group.

I have been trying to get my ged for almost 6months. I study on and off, but I never stick to it, I keep having set backs were I feel like it’s over welming at times. I say to my self, how could i finish this, there is so much I need to learn and I feel like giving up.

Daniel, the short answer is, you can’t take the GED online. The only real GED is taken at an official test center. But don’t give up! The problem is, a lot of GED classes just can’t work for the people who need the GED… people like you, who haven’t been in a classroom for a while and didn’t do well in traditional schools to begin with. You need a new way of learning, one that works for you. Please check out our online GED study program. It’s meant just for people like you… so you can learn on your own, much better than in a classroom.

Hi
I dropped out of High School in the 9th grade. I faced alot of peer pressure and got tired of being intimated by other students. I never liked few of my teacher who is low on teaching us.
I have tried Waubonsee College. Their material that used for the student to take the classes seemed to be outdated. and often felt trapped going now where, When the teacher asked me to take the G.E.D exam, I simplified flunked. I have tried to pass G.E.D. test four time in over 15 years period. So Where can I take a G.E.D. Online, so I can get over with it! Thanks, Daniel , Illinois
