Hi Everyone
I started couple of weeks ago to read through the quant section of GRE. As I am targeting for a score of 161 in quant, I went for the advanced track. I took two mock tests and I scored a 150 in quant. So I can tell from the practice questions of TTP offered in chapter tests, even the advanced track level seems to be more difficult than the actual exam.
However, I read some threads from students mentioning that they could only score 163 or 160+ after going through the expert track of the course. So, I am wondering if I should switch to expert based on these members reviews? although I can tell that the course even in advanced level is so thorough and I am already learning tons with it. Not sure though if the amount of knowledge I am learning is enough to take my score from 150 to 161 (following purely the advanced level).
I would like to hear from members who went through the ttp quant, if they followed the advanced or expert track and how much they scored and how much improvement they saw following each track. The expert level seems to add more 2 weeks or 3 to the prep time, and I am really short in time and I really don't have any extra day .. especially that I didn't touch the quant official material yet. Also, it's really not necessary for the school I am applying for to go beyond 161, as I understood that an average score like 161 will be accepted for someone with my profile.
would like to hear from your experiences!!
thanks

relation	name/s	age	relationship
divine parent	Charon, The Ferryman	old	Micah still has no idea what to think about his dad. Speaking with him during the visit to Olympus did nothing to clear things up. The man, or was it immortal, was blunt and yet, his son's opinion of him was still up in the air, though leaning more to the positive side. At least Micah has the connections to get himself an admittedly fantastic tailored suit.
mortal parent	???	???	Micah has no idea who his biological mother is. The only reason he knew who his father was before he came to camp was because the spirits told him.
mortal adoptive parent	Maria Di Santis	32 years old	If Marco was a saint then Maria was a saintess through and through. Everything she did, she did with someone else in mind. From the day she adopted Micah to the moment Marco died, Micah did not see her cry for herself at all. She'd cry when a little boy got hurt and would offer help or cry when she saw a cat get kicked by some drunk douchebag.
mortal adoptive parent	Vincino (Vinny) Bertelli	37 years old	Vincino is an absurdly rich man who was born and raised in Sicily. He found Maira through her singing on the side of the road to raise money for Micah's trip to the US. He offered to take her in because he liked her and sponsored Micah's trip by giving him some money and a ticket onto a transatlantic cruise ship headed to New York City. All things considered, he's a kind and considerate man who loves Maria.
adoptive brother	Marco Di Santis	14 years old, Deceased	Marco Di Santis was a saint. Ever since he learned the word 'kindness', he was absorbed and defined by it. He loved seeing the smiles bloom on people's faces when he shared some bread or helped them with something but what he truly loved more than anything else was sailing and playing the piano. He was handsome beyond reason, having pale blonde hair and clear blue eyes, though he never had a chance to grow into it fully.
dead guy	Chris	16 years old, Deceased	Like Marco, Chris is one big ball of sunshine. The only difference is he's a ghost. Micah met Chris on the cruise he stowed away on to get to the US and the ghost promptly joined him, though reluctantly because he was watching over his parents and little brother, due to finding him interesting. Like Marco, Chris is handsome though he had more time to grow into his looks. Framed by golden hair and chocolate brown eyes, Micah wouldn't have doubted it if the boy was very popular during his living days.
friend	Willow 'Will' Crest	16 years old	One of the more laid-back campers Micah had met, Willow became something of a friend to the son of Charon, though they started off more as discussion partners than anything else. And besides, being chill-buddies is pretty fun on its own. Who knows where things can go from there?
friend	Rachel 'Rocky' Williams	17 years old	Rocky was one of the first people Micah met upon arriving at camp and her enthusiasm, uncharacteristic for a child of a chthonic god, immediately made her stand out. Though he genuinely has no idea what goes through Rocky's head, Micah considers them close, and okay, maybe he has a minuscule crush on her.
friend/former cabin-mate	Ramona Herrera	16 years old	Being another camper who met Micah's criteria for friendship (i.e. Be chill and relax), Ramona is someone who Micah doesn't know too much about. Much like Kit, who Micah has seen around camp and the Hermes Cabin, she is a mystery to him. Though he does enjoy trying to spot which corner she's hiding in at any given camp gathering.
acquaintance (?)	Mathew Knight	15 years old	Matt is, as far as friendship is concerned, a work-in-progress. Micah's father had recommended getting to know the son of Hades and though he'd lost himself in school shortly after, Micah had made introductions.

description: Micah is a fairly restrained person when it comes to clothes. Usually, he'd only grab a long-sleeved shirt and some jeans, feeling content. Most of his clothing is fairly average, what with them being of all sorts of muted colors and sorts of clothing. He isn't used to expressing himself whether it is though clothing or other methods.
equipment:

• Folding Knife; The cleaver-shaped folding knife was a present from his brother and Micah has taken to using it for almost everything in his day to day. When his mother fell ill after Marco's death, Micah had to scrub the docks, cut rope to secure the boats, and even got to work on some boats during outings for extra cash. The knife became like a lifeline, being used for everything he had to do.
• Bead Necklace; Micah has been at camp for a year now.
• Monster Directory; Over the years, Micah has seen one or two monsters in their undisguised forms and has taken to keeping note of them by drawing them in as great a detail as he can remember in a separate notebook from the rest of his drawings while also making notes of tactics that worked against them.
• Sketchbook; Ever since he started drawing, Micah has had a good amount of sketchbooks, most of which he donated to orphanages in Sicily for the little kids to enjoy the drawings if they weren't destroyed by seawater or other kids. After he donated his last one with a few pages blank at the end, he got himself a new book, this one being leather-bound and practically a blank slate. He's glad to have an abundance of space to draw as his story unfolds.
• Art Supplies; A good amount of colored and uncolored pencils, all in different states of use, either dull or sharp, long or short, and an eraser in a dark brown leather box.
• Satchel; The over-the-shoulder bag Micah carries around with all of his items. It's nothing special, just an olive green bag with a good amount of compartments and space.
• Throwing Knife Bandolier; Micah's choice of weapon, the bandolier he carries is easy to hide under civilian clothes, fast to access, and easy to use. The knives are of standard make and easily replaceable with others from the armory, though Micah tends to clean and sharpen them himself after each use.

abilities:
* – modmailed / custom

godrent domain powers: 

a) Dead Communication; Ever since his close brush with death, Micah's powers surged. His father's connection to spirits and those who have died became his and as such he can now see and communicate with the spirits of the dead. They have been his only source of information on his father. He likes to build a network of spirits whenever he goes somewhere new so he can gather information as fast as possible.
b) Shadow Camouflage; From a fairly young age, Micah wasn't much of a social butterfly. Most of the time, he felt most comfortable in a shadowy nook where the lines of his body would be broken by shadows, using the ability unconsciously. After his near-death experience, Micah became more aware of his ability to hide in shadows and learned to use it more effectively than before.
c) Shadow Travel\;* After an unknowably long amount of time spent in Hades, Micah's father, Charon, was aligned with the underworld to which he led the souls of the dead. Similarly, Micah has inherited the ability to travel through shadows in short or long-range teleports.

godrent minor powers: 

a) River Step\;* The connection with the River Styx flows through Micah's veins as much as it does through his father's. The ability this connection granted him was the ability to walk on water, as long as there is no significant shift to the water, such as large waves.
b) Death Buff\;* Being a servant of the God of the Dead, it only makes sense that Charon would draw his own power from his master. As such, Micah has inherited a trait where he becomes stronger when around children of other deities of death, such as Hades, Melinoe, Zagreus, the Oneiroi, etc.
c) Aura of the Harbinger\;* Being a multifaceted deity, Charon passed down his multifacetedness in the form of an aura ability. Micah has the ability to project an aura with two opposite effects that work on separate targets. A calming effect affects any spirits within the aura while an imposing effect like that of Children of Hades affects living beings within the aura's range.

godrent major powers: 

a) Major Watercraft Manipulation\;* Being known as the Ferryman of the Dead, it only makes sense for Charon, and Micah by extension, to have dominion over watercraft. Micah's control over watercraft was one of the first powers he discovered and the power that is most intertwined with him in his entirety. He has inherited the ability to gain absolute control over any and all watercraft down to the rigging and ropes.

skillset 

Over the years, Micah has picked up a good variety of skills, including fishing and rope work. Still, there have been a great many learning experiences for the boy on the streets of Sicily. Free running came as a given to any child of below-average means in Sicily but Micah was significantly worse than most thanks to a leg injury he got at the age of thirteen. Drawing was the only real luxury he had during his time when he wasn't working. A young lady from a carnival that was passing through taught him how to use throwing knives after he helped her find her way around the city. He learned ballet by watching, sitting for hours outside a studio every day for weeks until he'd gotten good enough to practice independently, which led to his interest in gymnastics. One of the older neighborhood boys took to teaching Micah, his brother, and the other kids how to read and write in English. Micah's adoptive mother insisted on teaching him how to speak English from a young age. Now, he can speak English with a barely noticeable Sicilian accent.
personality
Micah is about as quiet as you'd expect from a Chthonic kid. That isn't to say that he is particularly serious or brooding, in fact, even when he's upset, he rarely does either. He mainly remains silent because he isn't particularly talented at talking. His reactions to most things tend to be a bit muted unless something is especially funny or angering. Any of the kids that liked him or trusted him in Sicily did so because they understood that when it was needed, Micah would talk as much as was needed and would do what needed to be done to keep everyone safe.
Fatal Flaw; Vengefulness
backstory
Micah's past year at camp had been simultaneously the most relaxing and confusing year of his life. There had been a unfamiliarity that Micah had with anything to do with relaxation or really anything but working that had slowly melted away. He'd made friends and discovered passions that might have otherwise gone ignored for the rest of his life (Art was definitely one of those).
So, when school started to take over his time, Micah barely gave it any thought, settling back into his old work mentality, though now focused on mental instead of physical labor. Before he knew it, it was summer, school was out, and he was back at the start, not knowing how to get himself to relax.
now
Micah stared at the ground around the Range target blankly, the celestial bronze knives scattered around it refracting light. He was jolted out of his mental haze when a camper a few rows down yelled at him for standing in front of the target for so long. Quickly finishing up gathering his throwing knives, Micah slotted them into his bandolier and left the Range.
For a while, he just walked, until he reached the pier. Boats had been a constant of Micah's life before coming to camp and when he was really out of it or off his rocker, the son of Charon liked to settle at the camp pier and imagine what sort of sea vessel he'd design for himself. Aesthetics might not have mattered to everyone but to Micah, they did. The ship would have to look as good as it sailed.
Now, he fell onto his back in the sand a few meters from the pier and stared up at the sky. Barely any clouds. Gods that was boring.
(Credit to u/FireyRage for the amazing intro format.)

I am 24 years old(F) and over the past few years, my older sisters have helped me come to terms with the fact that I was severely neglected and isolated, along with the rest of my siblings. I thought for so long that there was just something wrong with me, it was all my fault that I couldn’t make friends easily, didn’t know how to do makeup or hair, and felt like a sore thumb everywhere and have only had one job in my life that I got when I was 22 and that I am graduating college late when in reality my parents gave up trying when it came to me so when I was 18 I was just lost and didn’t go to community college til next year when my sisters noticed I was sinking. But for context, my upbringing was very strange. I was raised Catholic and still am practicing though I wrestle with my faith, largely due to an incredibly kind, compassionate, deeply sensitive, unpolitically involved pastor that is NOTHING like my parents, but my parents didn’t even fit in typical catholic circles, they didn’t take us to co ops or church events for the most part, and church hop instead of settling on a parish so that now going to church gives me imposter syndrome and abandonment issues. We barely left the house, my only company was 8 other siblings, and what we did most of the time was play with barbie dolls. We made up a whole town for them. I still treasure that time but I realized it was from a trauma response. We didn’t have friends or the opportunity to make friends. My education was lacking-lately my mom had my youngest siblings take actual classes with pre recorded lectures BUT that wasn’t it for me. I was convinced I sucked at math and flipped through the answers to try to teach myself because Mom couldn’t when I was older because when I was younger, she would just get mad and frustrated, same with teaching piano. She had no qualifications or qualities suited for teaching and made me think I was a failure incapable of anything. I applied for jobs from ages 17-21 but never got one because I live in a small town that hires based on nepotism. Right now, I’m working at culvers and just finished my psyc bachelors after i got my associates which wasn’t a typical college experience just my parents driving me to classes and then leaving after it so no chance to immerse myself and i just wanna get my license and move out but it feels impossible bcuz my parents wont let me. Finally, just want to make friends, move out, get another job, right now my only social interactions are culvers coworkers who are either teenagers or 40s+ and my older sister takes us swing dancing to see my other sister where I have crushes on men I barely know for being nice to me because I’m so emotionally starved. I wanna see a therapist for my issues too, but those are hard to find and not in my budget right now. How do i get over not having an identity or friends at 24? How do i heal and get another job and move out and somehow get a license or learn to use public transportation? How do i move on from intense one sided attachments to men i barely know bcuz they’ve showed me basic kindness and acknowledgment and make friends when I’m missing so much of the core experiences people bond and relate over? How do you learn who you are? I like running, working out at the gym, hiking, learning piano right now, enjoy math, and biology and like psyc tho i dont want a phd or a masters and chose to major in it from naivety but don’t know what to do with those interests and I’m not skilled in them persay. My social highlights are few and far between-a gymnastics class at age 10, a fitness class around 12-13, a Bible study at 13-14, swing dancing with a regular group from 18 through now, brief commuting encounters with other students at college - and have made me emotionally latch onto people I barely know.
I know this was really heavy, but getting it all out there feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm hoping some of you may have been through similar experiences and can offer some guidance or just an understanding ear.
This homeschool recovery journey and journey with emotionally neglectful parents hasn't been easy, and I often feel very alone in my struggles. Finding and being a part of this community has given me hope that I can work through the pain and confusion.
Any insights, advice, or just words of encouragement would mean so much right now.

as a f2p, i see the requirement being level 63. though im currently 52 lol. beta players or those who know? how long would it take to beat chapter 17 and then 18 with the level restrictions? how long are we talking time wise??

I’m a junior and I plan on majoring in Biology in college and I had planned on asking my APES teacher to write me a letter of recommendation and when I had asked her like two to three months ago she told me to ask her again once we did this college project thing and we’re in the middle of doing it right now and I asked her today and she said she reached her capacity of 15 ppl she’ll right a letter of recommendation for so now I don’t know who to ask.
As of right now I am thinking of asking my orchestra teacher as I have been playing the violin since 3rd grade and I am in the highest orchestra possible at my school. Or I could ask my AP Comparative Government teacher for a recommendation or my Honors Anatomy and Physiology teacher who’s known me since sophomore year. Who would it make more sense to ask? I feel like an AP teacher would have a better letter of recommendation but that AP teacher has nothing to do with science or anything I have done or want to pursue in my future.

I'm looking at the SWE course and hoping to transfer in as much as I can. I'm following this post for which classes from Sophia and Study.Com transfer in:
https://www.reddit.com/studydotcom/comments/11gsrn3/brief_guide_to_transferring_many_credits_to_the/
I also took AP Bio in high school and got a 4 which is supposed to be eligible to be used for college credit. I'm hoping to use it for the Natural Science Lab requirement. But with Sophia and Study I would be able to have only 17/36 classes left to do in the actual course.
I have experience with frontend dev (self-taught) and I'm already learning C# so I expect I should be able to get through some of the actual degree classes fairly easily. I also did the Google UX certificate, but evidently, that doesn't count for the UX/UI classes :(
I have my spreadsheet I made a copy of from a YouTube video on going to WGU:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mI02y_NRFr9EVH7gdZfZWgel58js453ZhJXKuIA9o7w/edit?usp=sharing
(^ it's view only)(Bold classes are for Sophia and italic for Study)
Has anyone else done this? Do y'all think it's a solid plan? I can be a little nervous so I need some positive reinforcement before I start things. I'd like to get the degree done in under a year.

For people who did majority or all of the JackSparrow deck, how did it translate to practice (AAMC material, Third party FL, UWhiz, etc.)? I am currently going through the deck alongside videos for certain chapters, mapping out brain dumps, and am around 70% done. However, I have not started UWhiz or any true practice yet, I plan to start as soon as I finish content aka the deck itself. While I feel like I am really learning everything, I am just worried this thorough of content review isn’t going to be worth it in the end. Any insight or success (or unsuccesful) stories would be helpful!
Edit: I also tried the MD deck before, didn’t help. My brain just recognizes the card but my recall is nothing near how it was with JS.

So. You're a writer of smutty novels. You're not a pro. You write them for your own amusement. And now you've decided to write another one. Something light about a summoned hero with OP powers and a cool artifact. And a harem. Harem makes everything three times better.
The world is prepared and...the dice are rolled. You always roll the dice. After all, you're not only a writer but a reader. And as a reader, you want a little unpredictability.
The dice are rolled, and they said NO SMUT. That's okay. It's only chapter one, after all. The Dice are rolled for chapter two. Chapter three. Chapter five. No smut. The Almighty Dice keep the protagonist's nonexistent innocence safe time after time. And so it was born. A unique work of fiction with a PWP tag. Plot Without Porn.
Here is what the Author himself wrote on that subject.
This story was planned as a pure PWP (Porn without Plot). But all the Almighty Dice said the word and the story went in a completely different direction becoming a PWP (Plot without Porn). Occasionally there will be smut scenes here and there but in the opinion of the Author and a certain part of the reader, not enough. If you don't tolerate this kind of content it can be skipped entirely without affecting the plot.
This is a fan translation of the original work. Not fanfic. Link to the original
They never called, yet he is here It's an amateur translation. It's a little weird sometimes.
Now, about the story.
At first, it seems to be a mix of isekai and litrpg. The hero is summoned. He will be given OP classes and a cool artifact. Except in this world, Heroes are used in a very specific way. They are used as donors. The consequences of class cutting are lethal. If they're lucky, they'll be brainwashed with a special system, the Yoke. Our protagonist avoids this fate and takes on a mission to avenge all those who were summoned before him and destroy the Yoke. And get some lulz in the process. Why not?
I can spend a long time describing the world, classes, races, and artifacts, but it's better to just try it yourself.
From review.
This is a fantasy novel translated from Russian to English. I really appreciate the translator's effort, but honestly, there are many challenging parts to read. However, as someone who has read hundreds of progression fantasy, I find this one to be truly fresh and groundbreaking. Especially, the protagonist's classes (Shadow + Dream + Alchemy), along with the incredibly intricate ability settings, was fantastic. I believe that with the touch of a professional editor, this story has the potential to receive very high praise.
