Got any tips for taking standardized tests? I would like to follow the patterns like a trained rat

Read the entire test before you start. This will give you an idea of what you’re in for, but in reading tests or literature exams, a lot of questions are answered by later questions. For example, “what is the setting of the story?” may later be followed by, “what may we infer from the protagonist’s description of 1880’s urban Westminster?”.

Strategize. If you’re a slow worker, maybe do the questions worth the most points first. If you’re not confident in your knowledge, maybe answer all the easier questions first, then leave the hardest for last.

In multiple choice questions, read the options before the question. Let them inform your assessment of the question itself.

In math, if none of the multiple choice options match your calculated answer, go with whatever is closest.

If you truly cannot figure out a multiple choice answer, start by eliminating the worst options and work backwards.

If all multiple choice options seem equally absurd, choose C. Assuming it gives you four options (average in my experience) this mathematically gives you AT LEAST a 25% chance of being right- slightly more, too, as C is statistically the correct answer slightly more frequently on average. Don't quote me on that though- the important thing is to “randomly” pick the same letter every time this happens, so at least 1 out of 4 works out.

Don't leave anything blank. Even if your odds of being right are one in a hundred, thats still better than zero.

For written answers, include the question in the answer. If the question is, “How are the blue curtains symbolic of the protagonist’s emotional state?”, rearrange the question as you present your argument. “The blue curtains serve as a symbol of the protagonist’s emotional state by…(supported argument here)”. Helps you structure your argument and looks tidier to the reader, but also if the person doing the grades is just skimming shit they may just see that you kinda get the idea and give you benefit of the doubt when marking.

I mean, in an ideal world all classes are taught for COMPREHENSION, as the lessons they teach have value beyond academic achievement and will serve you in many unexpected ways throughout your life beyond the academic, but seeing how standardized testing and AI cheats are flushing everything down the toilet as-is I’d be happy to see some more real and honest good old-fashion grifting tbh

sick to my stomach when i think about how clearly inquisition set up a major worldview shattering revelation regarding the personhood of spirits and how they have been dehumanized for millennia and framed by thedas' major political and cultural institutions as worthless, soulless evil demons that everyone should fear and revile. but then inquisition, through cole's story and through solas's dialogue, asks: what makes a person? what does it mean to be a person? are you willing to expand your definition? or will you shut out any being that seems strange, confusing, or unknown to you? we were taught that demons take over bodies because they want to join the physical world, that they are jealous of the spark of humanity and want it for themselves. solas confirms that spirits are drawn through the rifts in the veil due to their wish to join the living, they want to experience life, and are corrupted by the shock of the change. jaws of hakkon presents us an alternative to the spirit-fearing chantry ideology; the avaar live in peace with spirits alongside them. it leads right into the reveal of the titans as incomprehensible, alien, almost eldritch being beyond understanding: what about them? if you accepted spirits as people, will you accept these beings too?

trespasser then explains why spirits have such a desire to be with the world, because they are not supposed to be separate. they are not jealous, as the chantry teaches, but trying to unite with a half of the world that was lost. veilguard continues the message - some ways more artfully than others. spirits became the first elves, there is little argument against spirit personhood now. the mourn watch, in all of their ret-conned glory, treat spirits as beloved friends and coworkers and adopted children. rivaini seers chat with spirits regularly. its unambiguous now. spirits are people. the chantry's dehumanization efforts are wrong. we should do something about it, right? theres someone who has experienced the corruption and dehumanization of spirits firsthand? first used as a tool and then demonized beyond recognition? who wants to fix the hostile environment that leads to the constant corruption of spirits into demons? we should want that, right? nope! its ok. just leave them! they are indeed people but who cares :)

i realllly don't like it when shows consistently have fat characters and only fat characters eating fast food/too much/in inappropriate situations

it's so common too!!!! and there's never any skinny character who acts this way it's always only the fat characters.

Kyle is the biggest and most experienced dom out of the squad. Enjoys it immensely—and has introduced many women to BDSM in a fun and healthy way before meeting you and finding the love of his life. Very eager to come up with new scenes for you two.

Price enjoys domming, but is a bit old school doing it. Doesn't mind handing over the reigns to you, especially when he's tired. (Old geezer loves watching you bounce on his cock in Reverse Cowgirl and I don't blame him.)

Johnny isn't a dom, just overzealous most times. Biggest switch there is, actually, and likes to follow your orders. Heels like a Shepherd dog at any of your commands and sports a huge fucking boner doing it. Very into pegging and rimming.

Simon is a sub for you—through and through. Kisses the ground you walk on when your back is turned to him at first, but genuinely opens up. There is no way you're ever going to split. Congratulations, you've adopted the most loyal and submissive stray.
