Could this jump in my math score be attributed to a fluke/the practice tests being easier

Aiming for a 1400 on the November test and have been studying a lot, are the practice tests considered easier than the actual test or can I safely say my 60 point jump is just me improving and to keep studying

Not a fan of Kraken Funded anymore after the changes

Originally it was a good idea, spend $20, $50, or $90 and get access to an account worth $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 as long as the account didn't go below 5% of the original balance and you passed the challenge where you made 12% profit with paper money first to unlock the real thing.

But now I see they just lowered the max drawdown to 3% while keeping the price and the challenge profit % the same? With 5% you actually have a decent amount of leeway but 3% is basically just gambling at this point your coin makes one tiny move down and you're cooked. Not cool, Kraken. Change it back.

Can this be solved with desmos or do I need to do it on paper

Might be a stupid question but I haven't taken the SAT yet. Attached below is a problem from Khan Academy. If I get something like this on the test would it be multiple choice and I can plug in each multiple choice and see which one alligns with the graph? Or is it an empty box where I have to type the full answer? Thanks!

Getting ready for SAT math

Forgot most of the math I learned and did poorly on the math section of the practice SAT so I'm re-learning everything from scratch on Khan academy with the goal of getting a 700-800 on the math portion on the August 22nd SAT. The picture below is my 1.5 weeks progress, going through it pretty good and just took a test on everything I learned and scored perfect which proves I'm learning it. (Around 15-20 hours on Khan Academy so far)

For the R&W section, what do you guys recommend I study? I scored almost perfect on the practice test in all areas except Standard English Conventions which for some reason I missed quite a few questions. I hear that one is not super hard to study, so do I do Khan for that as well or is there a better resource? Thanks!

Roaring Kitty X account hack leads to GameStop spiking 13% on aftermarket

His first post in a pretty long time turned out to be a hack to promote a memecoin, which in turn also caused Gamestop to spike on aftermarket trading. Thought it was interesting, even something as small as a hack leads to huge trading volume but after it was confirmed GameStop went back down very quickly.

Rumors say it was his brother who took control over his account.

You get $100,000/minute up to an unlimited amount of time, but the moment you choose to accept it you now feel the pain as if both of your legs just got sawed in half. Your legs are completely fine however, and after each minute you are asked if you want to continue for another minute, or stop and the pain instantly disappears, except now you have $100,000 tax free with no questions from the IRS.

You can choose to exit whenever you'd like if after for example 10 seconds you can no longer take the pain, however you will incurr a fee of $1,000 that must be paid back within 12 months as a punishment for not endurring the full minute.

As a congratulations should you pass the first minute, you now get a 30 minute pain free break where you can rest up and mentally prepare should you choose to keep going. After each additional minute your "pain free time" after each 100k goes down by 5 minutes. Once it reaches zero, you will feel the pain as long as you keep going, with 100k per minute.

You are not allowed to use any medications/drugs to reduce the pain, but you can have a friend or partner hold your hand or motivate you to keep going.

Additionally you have a bonus: you can "commit" a certain amount of minutes, say 10, and each minute is now doubled to 200k instead of 100. You can keep going afterwards if you want at the regular rate, however you do not get breaks for this bonus. Should you choose to exit mid commitment and haven't finished your full committed minutes, you must pay $5,000 for each minute you didn't complete within a year for each minute. Since you backed out of the bonus you lose 90% from each minute that you did endure. Higher stakes, higher reward.

How many minutes would you/think you can go for, and would you choose the bonus? For how long? I tried to include as much detail as possible so it makes sense :)

EDIT: The money has now been increased to 1 MILLION per letter, as I've read through these comments I agree it's a big commitment so I want to make it more inticing.

Here's how it works, with the example using English, but if you're from a different country it obviously applies to your alphabet.

Let's say you choose to delete "z". It doesn't delete it for everyone else, but you can never use that letter again. You are not allowed to say it, type it, or write it. If you accidentally do any of those things you lose all the money you got from it and if you pick more than one letter you also lose the money from those letters as well. If you bought material possesions they disappear instantly. As a punishment for not following the rules, you get 6 months in prison, as well as losing your money.

Would you pick a letter/multiple letters and which ones?
