How to Study

[LevelUP]

This is probably the fifth time that I am trying to go back to school to get my degree because reading these forums have convinced me that it might actually be possible. I am aiming to get my bachelors in either communications or psych. I have applied to TESU and WGU.

I am going to do my best to test out of as many courses as I can, but I was curious if you guys had any sort of study tips for me. I'm not great at testing so I'm not sure if this whole 'degree hacking' is even possible for me to do. The guy on youtube says he has some sort of magic study method to pass the exams, so I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me out and share their study tools or point me in the right direction!! I am definitely not trying to pay that guy $1,000 on top of school.


Thanks in advance everyone!!

I would avoid WGU if you have had previous problems with college since that college has our highest dropout rate.  With WGU, they don't take transfer credits for 5+ years, have all-or-nothing exams, and have no free electives for your previous courses.

If you do the recommended colleges of TESU or UMPI, you avoid all-or-nothing exams. Any Sophia exams you do are open-book and only require a 50% pass, which is pretty easy to achieve.

If you suffer from ADHD or procrastination, there are separate study tips for that.
