It will cost me about 2000 dollars if I quit. I am already burned out, and could use the time to study for a big test (GRE). But, it is a lot of money...HELP!

I would continue to take the classes. It can't hurt you to continue to learn something, and who knows, you may find out that those classes may came in handy down the road.
BTW, I would recommend studying for the GRE. The poster who said it is easy must be a freaking genius because the GRE kicked my butt. I did well on it, but I would definitely say it is NOT easy!

First of all, find out the current college's drop/add class deadline -- and make sure that BEFORE you drop the classes (and it can be done without financial penalty), that the classes won't transfer into the new school (which is not totally believable -- there are very few classes that will not transfer between schools).
If you are past the drop-add deadline -- then It WILL hurt your GPA for college (DEFINITELY) by dropping the classes - it is better to take them and do as well as you can -- and just endure the rest of the semester.
I took the GRE myself -- and did this while Deployed, after being out of my Bachelor's Program for a few years. I did NOT have the time to study, but kept my mind active through the training I got during the Military, and a career field that kept one's mind constantly analyzing and making decisions. This is what helped me to have a very good score on the GRE. So I would not stress over the test overmuch, just relax -- what you have already done in your classes to this date will help you in the process of answering the GRE questions.
PS -- If you are already burned out, why did you sign up for the courses in the 1st place? So you have already thought about part of this answer anyway.

That is a lot of money. Are these classes that you feel will benefit you in life even if they do not give you credits? Can you appeal the decision of the new school? If the answer to both these questions is no, you might be better off dropping the classes. If even one of them is yes, you may want to stay. Just some criteria to help in making your decision. Best wishes.

if you can drop it without it showing up as an incomplete.. then just drop it. BTW the GRE is EASY... you shouldnt have to study too hard.

Stay in. If you are paying the money anyway, taking these classes can't hurt you. Even if you can't transfer them you might actually learn something valuable!

if they won't transfer there really isn't any point in taking them unless you enjoy them. If you're burned out don't push it - drop them.
