Is Khan academy SAT or Tutorlini Ottocento Course better?

I haven’t taken the actual SAT yet or any practice test, but my PSAT score is 1100. I just started using Khan academy but my progress is slow, and I’m not sure if it’s a rate of my time or not. For someone who’s sitting at a score of around 500ish for math, which one would be more effective?

How do I correctly order my “booklet” so that it is arranged in the correct order for binding? (My pdf already has 2 pages per page)

My title isn’t the best explanation but I created an undated dupe of the hobonichi weeks planner to print out and bind into a booklet by sewing (didn’t make it from complete scratch, used a template from someone else on reddit so credits to them). However because it’s already designed to have 2 pages per 1 page (so if i were to print and INDIVIDUAL non double sided paper of screenshot 1 and fold it, it would make a booklet), im having a hard time figuring out how to arrange it correctly.

I intend to print 6 copies of the month spreadsheet (for july to december), 27 of the weekly spread, and 25 of the last spread with blank grid pages.

Once folded, each page will go inside the other to be finally sewed.

Sorry for the bad explanation 😅Please tell me if I need to clarify anything

If anyone has an idea of how this would work, please enlighten me.

Stanford iGEM Email

I don’t think my application was received because thinking back i never received a confirmation email and didn’t know that I should expect until other applicants mentioned receiving one

I’ve emailed stanfordigem@gmail.com and stanfordigemteam@gmail.com but haven’t gotten responses, it’s been about a week.

Do they usually reply to emails ? Am i emailing the wrong address ?

Csr- x Research Program alums

If you applied for this program last year and got in, what did you put for the question that asks about prior research experience (yes/no)? I’m applying and not sure if they expect you to have prior research experience or not?

Also, how do I answer the “why are you interested in the research area above” question, i just selected the ones that are most fit for me. I usually struggle with these questions because i don’t know what to write
this is what i chose (from order or ranking)

  1. cognitive science
  2. biomedical health sciences
  3. data science (only one i have experience with because i attended kode with klossy (kwk) data science track this summer)

Stanford IGEM

Are they releasing results on a rolling basis? I still haven’t received an email. Do they send out rejection emails?

Also, when you filled out the google form application did you get a confirmation email or a copy of your responses sent to your email? (i didn’t and starting to worry that my application wasn’t received)

Where do you guys sell your products?

I’m planning on starting a crochet business, and I want to know what platform would be the cheapest to sell my products through. I’ve seen people sell on etsy, but I heard they take a huge amount of your profit, which in turn leads you to raise prices = less customers. I’ve also seen depop, but I feel like it’s more catered towards clothing? I’m not really sure. I’d love to know if there’s a platform where you don’t have to pay for shipping and they take a small amount of your profit. Also, if anyone has their own website, how do you make it so that people can pay through it? If I make a website i’ll likely use canva because I’m just starting out!

Besides platforms to sell on, if you have any advice for me no matter what type of small business you own, please tell me!

p.s: i don’t want to sell on insta and have customers pay through venmo because that seems sketchy and may come off as a scam. I personally wouldn’t buy from someone who sells through their dms either. Also, figuring out the shipping may be a lot for someone who is just starting out

macbook neo and ipad a16 or ipad air m4?

i’m a hs junior (this fall) and i need especially an ipad for note taking, because ill take note taking heavy classes and its mor convent for solving practice problems or prep books instead of printing them out or buying one.
Should i get the ipad air m4, and get a keyboard, or the neo and ipad a16? the only thing that would bother me about the a16 would be the non laminated screen, writing would kind of feel like floating ? i’ve never had an ipad to taken notes on an ipad before so..

the neo would be 256 gb, no touch id

the a16 would be 128 gb

would this last into college hopefully atleast my first 2 years? (so atleast 4 years) i’m gonna be premed btw so very note heavy

or should i just buy the macbook neo and refinished ipad air m3 or m2? i think a macbook would be convent because i might move schools and they wont provide me with a laptop.

Looking for Summer Programs that are still open for applications (mostly research)

I know i’m late, but i was wondering if there are still any programs (preferably online or near dallas, tx) that are still open for applications related to anything healthcare (neuroscience [especially], biology, chemistry) or even coding ! i’m currently doing the kwk data science in person summer camp and im actually enjoying it so much! I applied for hospital volunteering but got rejected because I had “missing info,” so there were my plans for summer. Now that I don’t have volunteering I thought I’d do a research program, even if it’s brief expose because I want to start now so that next year when i apply (on time) i actually have some experience!

p.s: i’m a rising junior (16 yo)

gauge swatch for mui top is too big

the pattern calls for 22 stitches and 32 rows, which should measure out to 4x4 in. however, my pre blocked swatch that i’m not even done with (only did 27 rows 💔)is 5 inches wide, despite using a 4mm hook as per instructions.
what do i do with this information lol? how do i apply it to the pattern and choosing a size ? i’m a beginner as you can probably tell and this is my first project. also, any tips for neat edges? mine are pretty wonky

how do i study for the SAT from scratch and with NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE?

hey guys!
i just finished my sophomore year, and i want to dedicate this summer to study for the SAT since ill likely be doing the IB program next year and won’t be free next summer as ill be working on my EE essay.
Anyways, whenever I read reddit posts online or watch any videos on how to study for the sat, people always say take a practice test spam practice questions etc, but how am I supposed to take practice tests if I know nothing? Obviously, i don’t literally know nothing (sitting at a 990), but i’ve never really learned or beeen taught the SAT “curriculum,” my score was mainly guessing or using prior knowledge. HOWEVER, what I’m looking for is somewhere or something / resources in general where I can learn ALL THE MATERIAL FROM 0, like NOTHING (such as youtube channels, prep books, pdfs, notes, etc) I don’t want practice sites or khan academy , i want to fully learn the content before i start practicing or taking practice tests. I know some of you guys might not agree with this study method and deem it as a waste of time as i should just build up from what i know, but i believe this is the best way for me to score 1500+ (MY GOAL IS A 1550+)

TLDR: I want resources where i can learn all the content for the SAT from scratch with no prior knowledge, NOT practice resources. I’m aiming for a 1550+, my PSAT score is 1100 (back in october) preferably, for free

Is it possible to score well on the IB (40+) at a school who doesn’t have the best teachers / coordinators?

So, i’m currently a sophmore in high school, and for my freshman and sophomore year i went to a public school in the us. The thing is, my family is likely moving from the US this december back to saudi arabia, where my dad lives. I don’t want to move the middle of my junior year obviously, classes in the us and the regular international school system in saudi is very different. I don’t want to do regular international school because it would be the same cost as an IB schoool, and i’ve researched a lot about the whole IB DP, i’m well aware that it’s very stressful but I want to challenge my self, as well as study abroad so it would highly help me (if i don’t do it i’ll have nothing to aid with scholarships etc)

However, the school that my dad would be able to afford (and is a reasonable price compared to way better IB schools which are around $25k a year) isn’t the best. I’ve talked to alumni and some actually most said that the teachers aren’t the best, and there was a while were they didn’t even have a bio or chem teacher i can’t remember, so a random sub would come teach random bio lessons without even knowing what the IB is. But, a couple teachers around 2-3 are pretty good.

I would love to hear from anyone who has the same experience that i mentioned above. Did you self study? Get a tutor? And how did you end up / manage things?

P.S: the schools average is around 30, but i want to score 40+ which i know is hard to do, but im willing to put in the work!

If you have any advice or input about the IB, even if it’s not related to my post, please share! I’d love to hear everyone’s perspectives, opinions, experiences, or anything else!
