I need to retake the test. I think I just have to retake that one portion of the test and I’m hoping it’s just that one portion but I don’t know what I’m going to do if I have to redo the whole thing =(

How I did it: I went to http://s14.alluc.org/tv-shows.html?mode=catdetails&id=814&navpath=sel|M and watched the show. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was my 18th birthday my mom bought me a bottle of Southern Comfort and my friend and I sat on Old Orchard Beach and drank the night away. We watched the fireworks. We were pretty much drunk that entire week. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Pretty much this is all I needed to overcome the faux obstacles my mind created to go forward with my GED preparations, and to move forward in my life. The day I went to go start the process to get my GED I noticed that I had this strange feeling that I never felt before I talked to my sister about it. The feeling wasn't nervousness, it wasn't worry or anxiety it was peaceful and my sister looked at me and said, "that's what they call con… Read how I did it…

The GED test is underestimated a lot. Employers think you’re too lazy because you didn’t bother finish High School, and others think your dumb and that a brain dead Monkey can pass this test. This test is a lot harder then what some might think especially if you have a hard time learning Math or knowing what exactly a double negative is and why we can’t use them. It bothers me when people think you can pass taking the test the first time and if you fail, you fail life which is what some people in my life make it out to seem like.
I waited three weeks for my scores and what I got was
Writing 400
Science 470
Social Studies 480
Reading 470
Math 430
with 410 being the passing score I pretty much just failed writing which could be a result of obsessing over re-learning the Math. So now I don’t know what’s going on and what I have to do, I’m taking a little break though and in September I’m going to try it out all over again.
I took the test today, but the goal isn’t officially complete until I get the results saying I passed which I’m skeptical on and it’s keeping my stomach in knots. My essay sucked and I guessed on a lot of answers I didn’t know.
But I do want to warn some people that haven’t taken it yet, the there was one question on my math test that looked like it was written backwards because the wording and the table it gave to figure out the question didn’t match up and I thought the book was defective I guess is the best word I can think of right now lol so when I asked the teacher guy person thing he said I was out of luck and that he couldn’t tell me but he did inform me that it is a reading test also and as soon as he said that it clicked in my head what exactly I had to do. But if there’s a question that looks like it’s backwards I advise you ahead of time that it is normal you just have to look at it a little differently. In this case I had to change one column of numbers on the table to percentages.
