As I walk into the room, I wait for someone to arrive so we can start on this long awaiting journey to succeed into the future. I show up at 8:30 am, the test starts at 9 am, as we all wait for our leader of the pack to show up and pass out the tests, she arrives at 9:30 am. The tests get passed out and depending on what we are working on, we have a certain time limit for each particular test that is assigned for each individual.
My specific test came in the order as Math, Reading and then Social Studies. I first started off taking the Math, which consists of two parts, the first part I was able to use a calculator on for the fist thirteen questions. Then came the second part of the test, which was the easy part, reading the passage and simplifying the answer, not even needing scratch paper for that. For the Math portion of the test, we are allowed thirty minutes per half of each test, I flew by both parts in thirty minutes, but more than confident that I did extremely well.
My reading test consists of twenty-five questions that dealt with reading all of the passage and then answer questions according to the passage that we have just read. For those twenty-five questions, we are allowed thirty-two minutes, I finished that part of the test in twenty minutes. There is a way to get past the time, read the questions first, then skim through the passage to find your answer, it saves a lot of time. I feel I did a little of well on that test.
Now my last test was Social Studies, I did not even pass the Constitution Test in High School, so my first reaction was, if I couldn't do it then , it might be a lot harder now. Well after taking a practice test on the computer to see how I did, my teacher said I was ready to take the actual practice GED test. This test consists of twenty-five questions also, but I had thirty minutes to complete, but only this time, I barely made the time schedule to complete my test. So on this last test, I don't really know how I did, some parts I think I did good on but others, I got stuck on some questions.
Well that is the aftermath story from yesterday, I will further post what my outcome is of all my scores, like I mentioned in the last post, I don't think I would be able to do this if it wasn't for the people that care about me and stand behind me to move forward in life.

Outstanding effort deserves recognition. One atta-boy VV. I know you will soon feel like a million bucks. And don't forget to send some of that cash to your mother for her tummy-tuck. Love and hugs, PD
