my favorite advice my GED instructor has given me

hi everyone so today I wanted to share some advice my GED instructor recently gave me.

so as I've said a few times here I've been trying to get my GED for 10 years here in the state of AZ whether you are getting your GED or in high school before you graduate you need to pass 5 main tests language arts, science, social studies,civics, and math I have passed the first 4 but math has always been my worst subject I just flat out do not like it and this hatred intensified in 7th grade when my math teacher spent a week teaching us how to do quadratic equations.... her words were and I quote "you don't need to learn this until high school but it's always good to get a headstart" which yes I agree but quadratic equations are an umbrella there's so much more to it that she never went over and threw us to the wolves when she would grade the homework she would scold us because none of us got those questions right.... because we were 7th graders not rocket scientists.

to this day I get a head ache in the middle of my forehead thinking about it.

so recently my instructor asked me if I meditate at all I'm not one to meditate but a lot of people like to use crafting as a form of meditation and seeing as I am very crafty I said no but I diamond paint which is mindless really like color by numbers and when I do it I have true crime videos playing in the background so she told me to diamond paint and listen to true crime to unwind and quiet the test anxiety.

sadly when I took my last test they wouldn't let me take my ipod in with me so I could listen to true crime and stay focused but I actually do find that it helps

so that would be my study tip meditate before and after studying it'll help clear your mind they also say eating chocolate or minty or cinnamon gum will work as smell association I have tried this before and I actually find it to work as well

happy studying my fellow students
