there are special study courses you can take in your municipality somewhere. Where I live some of those courses are for free. These courses help prep you for taking the test. Where to look for these where you are at, I wouldnt have a clue. Good luck!

it all depends on how smart you are.  I do recomend going to classes that are offered,   just as a memory refresher.   Failing a ged test without studying can be a little embarassing.

One very good and effective way is to construct mind maps of what u have studied. You can see the links and connections between concepts and so it gives you a whole picture. Sometimes, we u construct mind maps, you will come to know which parts you have understood and which parts u need to do further studying. And u can even use it for revision. My student, as young as ten yrs old use this method to study science. And it's really good, she find it so much easier to revise using the mind map. \n\nYou can plan your studying - this is impt. too. try not to do too much per day. you'll only get information overload. So plan what u want to study for the next day. write it down on post-it note and stick it to ur organiser or ur room bulletin board. And you can even write down a reward for urself if u manage to finish those tasks. E.g. study science chapter 5 and do mind map, complete math questions on the topic on factorisation. Reward: play pc game for 30 min if i manage to finish the tasks. \n\nStudy SMART - Not everything is impt. We do not need to memorise everything from the history or geography book to get a good grade. Get the main points. Find shortcuts to learning though u have to be careful in finding the right ones. teachers do give tips during lesson time indirectly.. so pay attention in class to catch them.

repetition is key. make notecards and carry them with you. study with other people and take turn asking questions.

You start praying! :)) Nothing else could help you in this situation!\n\nNow seriously...you have to calm down and try to have some rest after all...because you've got to have your mind fresh and open for new ideas. Sometimes it's better not to read anything at all if you don't have time to study thoroughly, because you will then find yourself very stressed about the fact that you cannot remember the exact words, ideas etc.\n\nBut if you haven't studied anything at all...there is nothing to be stressed about (I mean regarding what you have to remember...you haven't read a thing!) and if you do manage to calm down then you'll maybe be able to come up with some ideas of your own (that's what I usually do...I just try to think about the subject and what I know about it from other sources than my books...maybe from tv, the internet, a discussion with a friend...)

I went through the same thing myself...I would suggest getting a tutor. I think some schools offer tutoring services for free...you might want to check with your schools learning center or the chem/physics department. My college allowed people needing help to sign up for tutors and the school paid the tutors to help students out for an hour a week. If this kind of service isn't available, you could try getting a tutor on your own. I think in the case of orgo, its really best to have someone there to talk through concepts and reactions to make sure you're really understanding it. Books that try to dumb things down just dont help because they can't tell you if youre actually understanding things correctly. Good luck!

I am not like those who can just memorize something by studying it or reading about it. But what has helped me to retain some material is by talking about it or trying to explain what I just learned to someone else. This way, if you run into problems explaining it, then you should go over the material again to pick the areas that you forgot.\n\nIf you don't have anyone whom you can talk to about the subject (you can try having a study partner or just pretend you are making a presentation in front of a group of people), then try writing what you learned in your own words. Essentially, you are trying to draw your learnigns from your memory and put it down in a structured format, so you will be able to explain it to others or write an essay (i.e. for an exam) when it's needed.

Get organized. U won't be able to do anything without knowing what is goign on. Study for a least an hr. a day, and if u don't get the material, get a tutor they help a lot. Also if ur school has any after-school clubs that help kids that are having trouble join! Take notes in class, and I know that this is sort of boring because ur teachers probably drone on about something that u think isn't important, but that will probably be in the exam, try to listen to ur teachers. Cancel all plans with friends because u need to pass or ur future is down the toilet. Make sure u study a lot (even on weekends!) I hope u pass the exams I know they are SUPER hard, but I sure do hope this helps. Don't worry a lot of people go thru the same thing u ar going thru right now! If u need any help, use Yahoo Answers there is a lot of people out there that want ot help (like me)!

Any class that you think you can learn without being in a class. So something you probably know already.

Go to your local library and see if they might have a GED program or GED resources you can use.  Some libraries even offer GED classes in math and english for a small fee, or even free.\nIf you live by a college, the college might also have some GED resources.

Take notes. Read into a tape recorder and then listen back to it later. Teach someone or something (your cat) the concepts you read (without looking at the book!). People learn in many different ways. Some are better verbal learners, some are better visual learners, some learn better by doing. By attacking your problem from multiple angles, you will succeed. Make sure you have the time to learn (turn off the TV, phone, and music and don't wait until the last second to study).

I too missed, for emotional reasons, a lot of the content of my schooling, and like yourself, have thought how nice it would be now, as an adult, to go back and re-attend classes right along side the 6th graders... Unfortunately, such things are generally not permitted (in spite of the taxes I pay to support the schools here, but that's a different story)\nWhat I did instead was devised my own self-educating plan.  I bought a set of encyclopedias and read them at leisure.  SO SO much stuff I either never knew, or missed...  Additionally, I picked up at GED book and started to read it, as in preparing for a high-school equivalency test.   GED isn't easy!, let me tell you!\nStay alert, watch news channels, read newspapers and magazines on current affairs, etc.  Through observation and reading and dialog, you'll get more information than most people around you.\n(With regard to chemistry, math, etc, you may need to hire a tutor or look  for adult-educaton opportunities)

Take a note of what you studied in simple terms. When you see those few tips what all you read must come to your mind. Keep many such notes. Go through them when you are free. Even sitting in a park observing the dogs play with a ball you can review these niotes.\nPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.\nAFTER FOUR FIVE TIMES YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM ALL AND FAST AND QUICK.

Find a quiet, undisturbed place. Memorize important dates for events. Know why things occurred, like cause and effect. Most of all, study from your notes, and read from the book if you need more help. Make flash cards, quiz yourself. Make sure you know how to do math problems, and if you aren't comfortable, do the practice problems and check your answers. But study for Social Studies especially tonight ^_^ Good luck!!!

Study and do practice problems, ask your teacher or get a tutor.

Be willing to learn new study skills is a good place to start. Also setting up a term calendar and study routine is a good idea. When you know what you have to have done and what amount of time you have to do it in you can better allocate your time.\n\nRead every day. If you have a paper to work on, start it the day it is assigned, even if you're just brain storming.\n\nMake sure you attend as many classes as humanly possible. Of course if you're in a car accident or mauled by dingos or something you can't go, but other than that, you should show up. Make sure you take notes and if you miss a class get notes from your classmates. Go over your notes, they may help you in guiding your reading and are invaluable study materials.\n\nTake care of your health. Get lots of sleep, drink plenty of water and eat healthy foods. I know that's not always possible but if given the choice between an apple and a chocolate bar, choose the apple. Try and get 20 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.\n\nKnow your limits. When you feel burned out or just a bit blue, call up a friend and go out for coffee to relax a bit. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Just because that guy in your calculus class can take 5 classes and work two part time jobs and get a 4.0 GPA doesn't mean you have to!\n\nMost important, remember that this time is for you. This is your education and your future. Don't peddle it away trying to live up to others expectations. Set your own goals and enjoy achieving them!
