Dear mods,

I posted yesterday which got taken down for violation for rules about advertising.

You guys told me if I have a free resource I want to share, send a message to the mods.

You guys to realize that I sent you a modmail way back on JUNE 24th??? Nobody replied for MONTHS. And now you “mods” tell me I need to send you guys a message if I want to do what I did WHEN I ALREADY DID THAT???

If you want me to follow the rules, why don’t you follow your own rules and actually reply to mod mail instead of not doing anything for months and expecting me to “wait patiently”

I’m going to be taking September on paper and for July paper I scored a 30 on the reading and that was sheet doing hundreds of practice questions for 2 weeks of study, but I haven’t read a book in the longest time.

I see tons of people say that reading books will help you increase your score. Given I have all the way until September, how much would reading a book actually help? (the one i have is fantasy)

Does anybody know what does it mean if you already received your july paper scores but then got the email i’ve seen other people posting that “your score is not expected to be released on July 21st…”?

Somebody pls tell me that this means my paper score I got is fake and my real score hasn’t been processed yet 💀💀

This is the official ACT Enhanced Practice Test 2 which I printed out only the reading section of to take on paper (simulating me taking the paper version of the test this Saturday).

I’ve seen online people talk about how some practice tests are easier and others are the same, and I’m not sure about the difficulty of this one.

Can anyone tell me if a score on this test will likely be higher or lower or the same when I take the real ACT?

Just so anyone can reference here without digging into the PDF, 1 wrong is 35, 2 wrong is 34, 3 wrong is 32, and 4 wrong is 30.

I scored a 34 on this test and just want to know if I should be trusting this test to predict my score or not, as I want to know how much more I need to practice before I know i’m likely set for my target score.

I got the error today on my mac after I recently updating from 15.0.1 which I had been running for a long time, to 15.7.7, and my root patches were broken because of the macOS 26 update sitting staged in my system ready to restart and install, and apparently there was no supported way to fix it, only workarounds.

I know everyone’s system is different, but I’m just putting out here what worked for me. I had the update files in /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate taking up 6.5GBs of space.

I simply just had to boot into safe mode by pressing the Option key on boot, selecting EFI Boot, then pressing Shift+Enter on the macOS volume. Once I was booted in to Safe mode and logged in, those files disappeared by themselves miraculously and I attempted a root patch install which worked successfully and encountered no version error. Then I rebooted my system normally after the root patches installed and it all worked perfectly fine with the update being purged.

Again, I know everyone’s systems are different, but this worked for my MacBook Pro Mid-2012 2.5GHz Intel i5 Dual-Core Processor

So I took 4 AP tests this year in the following order: Euro, Chem, Precalc, and Psych. During the Euro test in the break between section 1 and section 2 we were let outside of the room into the halls to use the bathroom and talk and stuff. Before the break was over, I crouched down next to my bag so I could text my mom when to come pick me up since the exam was stretching out after school. After I finished our proctor, who is a teacher that I know, saw me and just told me to keep my phone outside. I know it’s against the rules to access your phone in the break, but she and I both knew that I wasn’t cheating or anything.

I asked her later if she reported the incident, and she said that she did, so I asked her if she could tell me the details after I explained to her what exactly I was doing. She said that she simply reported it as a testing irregularity where she just said that I accessed my phone during the break, and she told me to put it away when she saw later and I did as she asked without question and resumed testing without anything else happening. By report, she simply told me she emailed my AP teacher and our school’s AP coordinator this short email.

She told me neither replied to her email and I shouldn’t worry about it, she only did it because she is required to. I talked to my AP teacher who is pretty chill and he hadn’t done anything because it’s not his job to, and he said I should ask the AP coordinator if I was worried (this whole part about the conversations I’m having is one scene and separate from the AP test day). I also told my proctor in her classroom that no teacher or admin ever reached out to me or called me in or anything about this incident and no one had told me anything, and she said that i’m most likely fine and I don’t need to worry about it because the paperwork is too much effort to have our AP coordinator officially report something like this, and given the fact that no one ever reached out to me or talked to me about the incident, I should be completely fine.

She contrasted my story with an experience she had last year where a student had his phone with him during the exam and she didn’t know, but he went around telling everyone that he had his phone, and students told the proctor about it. Later some teachers/admins sat him down and talked to him about it and he got in trouble for all of it. She said that because no one reached out to me, I should just forget about it and go home, given what she said about it being too much effort for the AP Coordinator to report something small like this officially, and likely nothing will happen.

What do you guys think? Am I going to have all my scores cancelled? My proctor advised me to not go to that AP Coordinator guy because he likely forgot it since it was multiple weeks ago and nobody reached out to me, and that would remind him of it. I just don’t want all of my 4 scores to be cancelled because I worked very hard the whole year for these classes.
