ChatGPT is saving my life I am in a pretty desperate financial situation right now and the only way out is finishing my degree. But because of past academic struggles, I had massive knowledge gaps and was completely drowning in my chemistry courses. Private tutoring costs around $80/lecture, which would be over $1,500 a month—money I simply do not have. So I decided to invest $20/month into ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4) and use it as my personal, 24/7 on-demand tutor. I went slide by slide, asking it to break down complex concepts into simple terms, create practice problems, solve examples step-by-step, and summarize difficult textbook chapters. The results have been insane: - Organic Chemistry midterm: went from 4/30 last year to 23/30 this year. - General Chemistry: went from 9/30 two years ago to 25/30. I actually understand the material now and for the first time I know I'm going to pass and get my degree. This $20 tool literally saved my academic career when I couldn't afford human tutoring.
