Swapped $30 workbooks for free library printouts for my GED prep
I was buying those $30 GED workbooks from the bookstore, and after 2 months I realized I only used maybe 4 chapters total. My local library lets me print worksheets from their computers for 10 cents a page, and I've been pulling practice tests from their online database instead. Has anyone else swapped paid study guides for library resources and seen their scores actually improve or stay the same?
I did the same thing with the science section. Bought a fat $35 prep book, used it for like two weeks, then found out my library had free practice tests through their testing database. I printed maybe 200 pages over a few months for around 20 bucks total and my practice scores went up 8 points. The trick for me was doing timed sections instead of just reading chapters, since the book made it too easy to skim. Library printers can get pricey if you print a ton though, so watch the page count.
