Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.
Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.
The problem is that everyone learns differently. Some folks need a study group; some need to study at 3 am; some need to hear a lecture 30 times.
