Alright for the tests I tried to study as hard as a I could but for math and science it didn't end up working out. For social studies I studied for around a month, for LA I studied for another month, and for math I studied for half a month but only got through small portion of the lessons. I didn't even open the science section of the book. My scores ended up being:

Math - 149 (pass)

LA - 170 (college ready)

Science - 176 (college ready + credit)

SS - 179 (college ready + credit)

Social studies was a 100% waste of time to study for. NOTHING in the book was on the test, it was all 'read this and answer basic questions about it'. If I could do it over, I would have never opened the SS section of the book and I suggest you don't waste your time either.

Language arts WAS hard for me despite being my best subject. I had only one grammar question and the rest (I think around 43?) were 'reading comprehension'. You'd read a passage and they'd ask you to 'infer' based on it. What the author meant, what might happen in the future, etc. If you have issues with that, it's best to study hard for LA.

Science was easy, shockingly so. I went in expecting to fail both math and science, so I wasn't trying overly hard. There were some basic math questions (fractions and mean, median, mode) but you have a calculator during those. The only thing that stood out that you'd need to study for on this test is chromosomes. I had around 3-4 questions about 'if one parent had a Yy gene and the other parent had a YY gene, what possible genes could their children have?' Otherwise it felt a lot like social studies: it didn't require a lot of thought.

And finally.... math. Math was awful, I had no idea what the hell I was reading. They even had a formula sheet that told you exactly how to calculate things and I still managed to have no idea what I was doing. My test was mostly algebraic expressions/equations and line graph questions, there was one fraction question, no decimal questions and no geometry. This entire test I just bullshit my way through, I plugged in the multiple choice answers into the equations until I found the right one, I chose C when I didn't know the answer (half the time I didn't know the answer), and by the end of the test I had guessed on the majority of it. I finished with 20 minutes left because I had accepted my fate of a fail. If you have trouble with math at all I would STUDY HARD. I'm talking 2 to 3 months of hardcore studying. But keep in mind I never listened in school, didn't even memorize my times as a kid, and I despise math. If you're decent at math, I don't think it will be as hard for you at all. But if you're like me.... study. I got SO lucky, and I passed by only 4 points.

Basically, the test isn't as hard as it's made out to be. I had it in my head that it was going to be this awful, unbeatable thing, but it wasn't. Even someone who doesn't know basic times (hi) managed to slide passed the hardest test, so it really isn't something 'so hard ivy league graduates can't pass it' as I've seen some sites claim. If you have time and want to study, study. If you don't have the time and or are not sure if it's worth it to study, then only study for your weakest subject(s). SS and science should NOT be studied for in my opinion, it just feels like an absolute waste. Unless you got straight A's in math through school, I would study for math no matter what. LA is dependent on you as a person, but from somebody that has always loved the subject and reading and writing, I'd study at least a little bit even if you are good at it.

Okay this is WAY too long, but if it can help even one person, it's worth it. I looked everywhere when I was studying for more 'my experience' posts, but there weren't many and none were very detailed. I feel like I wouldn't have been so afraid if I knew what was coming, so I hope this helps someone else.

TL;dr: Math was as bad as they say and needs hardcore studying, SS and science are easy and shouldn't be studied for, LA is difficult but mostly just reading comprehension studying/not studying is up to you.

EDIT 3/20/23: Hey all! I know this is a super old post but I noticed people are still finding it insightful so I wanted to come back and give an update.

As you all know from my post, I was a terrible student who really felt like I had no future. However, I've come back today to hopefully encourage all of you who are currently in a similar situation.

On May 7th I will be graduating with a 4.0 Summa Cum Laude from my state university. In August, I will begin attending the #1 law school in my state (ranked top 30 out of 200 law schools nationwide). Because of my hard work in college, I will be attending law school on a FULL RIDE merit scholarship (this is $105,000 worth of merit aid).

I'm not a Reddit user and it took me a while to figure out my password to return to this account. I'm so happy to see that there are still people reading my post and finding encouragement. It's been 6 years and I still remember how utterly hopeless and worthless I felt when I made this post. I saw no future for myself and felt like my failure in K-12 would define me.

I'm here to let anyone else who feels the same way to know that is NOT the case. I came from a dirt poor family, dropped out in 7th grade, and couldn't do basic math. I got my GED, and from encouragement in this Reddit and elsewhere, started my higher education journey. Now, I am going to be a lawyer!
