2-16-2017 You are not good enough for college. You have to make it on your own, no help from teachers. And you have to be pretty good at your subject to do the work at all. Colleges have a lousy reputation for everything you think they are supposed to do. Get a simple job and a cheap pad within walking distance. That is so you don't have to waste your money on transportation. Save half of everything you earn. Yes, half. To start, keep your savings in gold or silver coins which you do not store in anybody else's vault. (IOW hide them at home.) Spend your evenings studying investment books at the public library. When you are smart enough then you can make other investments. If you earn ten bux an hour and save half, in only ten years you will have A HUNDRED THOUSAND BUX not counting interest or capital gains or paper profits: only principle. There is no other plan that will give you a net worth above zero in only ten years. And there is no school that will teach you any such thing. Does this plan work? Andrew Carnegie worked five years, saved his wages, and then put it all into a tech stock: telegraph. You might have heard the name. His hobby was building concert halls and libraries.

If you are looking for a completely personalized approach, consider preparing with an SAT or ACT tutor. One-on-one tutoring sessions ensure you will get on-the-spot feedback and customized lessons to your needs and learning style. For example, if you have mastered sentence completion but need to work on geometry, your tutor will adjust your prep plan accordingly. This is also the most flexible method in terms of scheduling and great for students with limited availability or fast-approaching deadlines.
