  • I didn’t finish high school until I was 35. I went back to college and needed to upgrade on mark. I had failed two classes needed to graduate due to a poor home-life. (I missed a lot of school and barely handed in work - had 35% in the class, got 75% on the exam - did not reach a passing grade. In both classes!)

    I only needed one of the two to get in to my program, but I just went ahead and did them both to get my diploma while I was at it.

    It was English and social studies that I needed to graduate, so it wasn’t too hard. Where I live you can challenge the exams for free if you’ve been out of school for more than two years. So I did a 2-day exam prep course (at $90 each) with a bunch of high schoolers before each one. Got 89% on each exam, got my diploma in the mail like a month later. 😎
