GET TO WORK
Yep. It's time to crack the whip. In Step 1, you learned about the Big Three. In Step 2, we talked about many of the options you have for earning college credits. Step 3 was all about degree planning.
So we've come to Step 4. You've got a plan. Now the real work begins. Choose which courses or exams you want to start with, and design a schedule of study. This is going to depend entirely on you. Can you devote four nights a week to your studies? Great. Mark that off on your calendar and make a point to stick with it. Do you need more flexibility? That's fine, too, but determine an amount of hours-per-week you can set aside and each week, plan those hours accordingly.
From the main page, you can click on the general subject icons to be taken to the lists of the individual course pages. Whether you choose to work on one course/exam at a time or several, make sure you have taken the time to explore all of the resources available, so that you can pick those which best suit your learning needs and style. Also be sure to visit the study journals page, for tips on putting together notebooks that will help you chronicle your learning and create your own study guides for review. While you would only need the final section described if you are also working for high school credits, in addition to the suggestions on this page, also consider printing out the official exam outlines to add to your journals so that you may easily refer to them at any time.
Dedication, dedication, dedication. Make a pledge with yourself right now that you are going to see your studies through. Be diligent and consistent, and before you know it, you'll be filling out graduation request forms to submit to your school of choice.
Good luck and happy learning!
