I'll start this out with a little bit of history about myself. Also, I know my typing grammar and punctuation isn't the best but when it comes to actual "paper work" I do it much differently so no comments on tht plz.

I never liked school. The other kids thought i was scary and weird. I never got picked on, I tended to do the bullying but I tried to be nicer to the kids that were already bullied, I was pretty nice to the nerds and other "weird" kids. But your typical bullies; football players, popular kids, rich kids, etc were the ones I was mean to. My point here is mainly stating I didn't quit school because I was bullied. I just didn't like sitting at a desk all day doing nothing. I wanted to work! I wanted to do manual labor!

I got kicked out of my normal public school for reasons I won't mention here, but I was sent to the "alternative" school. In normal school I was an A student. In the alternative school they were "teaching" me shit I learned in the 6th fuckin grade (I was in the 9th grade at this point) so theres really no need to say it, but I will. I was an A student at this school too.

I was bored to death. I wanted to work and I wasn't learning shit at school. So I quit going. I had straight A's but failed the 9th grade because my attendance was 32% and I needed 95% or more to pass. So I told em they could go fuck themselves and I never went back.

Sadly, this was slightly over 3 years ago and I still havn't found a job!! So I decided to get my GED! But after 3 years of doing nothing but smoking pot, watching TV, getting drunk and playing video games, I feel I probably need to study a little bit. I've never actually studied for anything, I always just knew the answers from reading over shit in our textbooks and stuff that we learned in class. So this is literally a first for me.

What I need to know:

1. What portions of math are in the GED test? I know there will basic adding, basic subtracting, basic multiplying, basic division, fractions, percentages, geometry & algebra. All of that is easy, I don't need to study for it. What should I brush up on in math to make sure I can pass?

2. What portions of history will be in the GED test? I live in the USA if that changes anything. Honestly I cant remember the dates of any wars or special events in history. I couldn't even name any wars except the war with the british, the 2 world wars, the civil war, the spanish/american war and the vietnam war. If this is all the wars that america has been in, I guess all I need to do is learn the dates they started/ended but if there were other wars and they are covered in the GED test, plz let me know! So if anyone can give me an idea of what will be covered in the history part of the GED it would help ALOT.

3. What portions of science is covered in the GED test? I do not at all use science in my day to day life, infact I havn't done anything scientific since I left school, so I dont really remember anything about science. I wouldn't even know what to look up to start.

4. Is biology in the GED test at all? I never learned biology as it was a 11th grade and 12th grade only subject in my school, so if this is covered in its own area, or as part of the science area of the GED testing plz let me know wtf I need to learn.

5. Anything else that is known to cause most people problems that I should make sure I know?
