Actually, I believe some of the smartest people that have lived weren't very good speelars. Although, that was a funny way to spell nonchalant lat.

Heh, you're not alone I too am in the verge of getting my GED. For my future's sake.
I have gone through an orientation with no obligation to sign up and they explain the whole process. From what they say you take an assessment test: inline with the real test, which tests your knowledge of the basic subjects like Math, English, Health, Civics/Social Studies and Economics, to see where you are at.
I took it and it takes awhile, about 35-45 minutes for each subject, so about 4-5 hours to complete the whole GED test. They said I actually did very well but took 25 minutes too long with the set time limit. Thats the thing I hate about test taking, freakin' time limits. The way I see it, if you know it then you know it, there shouldn't be time limits to show if you know the material. Anyways, like I said the test shows subjects that you are weak at. I was above average on all but the Math. So if I did sign up for the GED program, they said I would have to study Math booklets, worksheets and all that crap.
Its not something where you just sign up to take the test right away and pass or fail. I really wish it was that way. But the program offered in my area is a process of coming in for weeks to study your weaknesses and prep for the test with tutors to help you out. Answer to your question is it tough? Depends on "you" really. Its just basics they throw at you. Hope you do well, myself too....

I understand this thread is a touch old but I figured I'd put my two cents in.
I also droped out in 10th grade, my school decided to screw me out of my credits so it was either repeat the 10th grade or drop out. I pretty much waited a year and a half to get my GED. IT was pretty basic English, probably 9th grade. Algebra II math. Science and Social stdies were mostly just read the passage and answer. All you need to know are the basic terms.
I G?ot my GED about a year ago, I was in colleg until I moved. I'm hoping to get into Johnson And Whales eventually, but for now, due to money restraints I'm only in a community college which doesn't seem to bad. I'm also turning 19 in December, so I was in college while all my school mates were still graduating (They just graduated this year).
Honestly, I hated dropping out. At the same time though, it didn't hurt me to badly.

*Cue Wank's spelling joke insult*

edit: its just a joke, no need to blow it out of proportion.

You retard, how is Diplo dumb? I'm sure it hurts his feelings, since it came from someone who sounds like a jr high school girl.
