OK, I need some serious advice here. I'm in my early 40's and never completed my college degree and now I am a senior with only 36 electives left and I'm done. I'm not the smartest kid on the block but I apply myself and have a 4.0 GPA.
I would have to take 6 more courses to get my degree and that would mean 6 more months in school and honestly I'm fried with working full-time,a family and going to school full time. So I bought the Collegeboard study book and signed up here on IC. I prepared for the A&I Lit, English Comp and Intro to IT Computers with the stated material and FAILED all three tests miserably. I knew 80-90% of the material in the flash cards and book and felt very prepared, I dont get it!!!!!
I'm beyond frustrated. In addition I do not feel the material I studied actually prepared me for the material on the test. It was like I was expected to be a subject matter expert.
Maybe I'm just 20 years to far removed from this process to make it work for a 40 year old brain.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I just dont know what to do from here other than take 6 more classes and grunt though it.
Thanks
