I dont understand why ppl say we should bring back standarized testing when not everyone is going

into stem. Wouldn't students who r good at social science, the humanities, or are only good at math not english, suffer a huge blow?? and even then, A standardized literacy/numeracy tests makes sure students have basic competencies. Vs a big exam that determines university admissions and rewards particular test taking skills. You guys want to say that students shouldn't be judged by their gpa and then suggest a big exam?? that still would be judged based off a number/grade??

bottom line stop tryna bring this standarized testing bs before the news acc picks up on it or someone does and it ends up coming true. You guys saw what happened to the OSAP guy, he spoke of something and it ruined it for the rest of us.

If you really want standardized testing, then bring something for enginerring/the highly competitive degrees. leave the rest of us alone

Society and it's institutions uoft course classified as Social science under degree explorer

I'm taking a course downtown called ENV100 and I assumed it would satisfy my science distribution requirement. But on degree explorer it's showing up as a social science credit?? On timetable builder said it's a science credit. Wth guys!? I feel so betrayed. I wasted two weeks and there's so much to do for the course. Should I just drop it now? I'm on osap and would be down to 0.5 credits. Would I have to fill out a form? I'm so confused but I keep hoping degree explorer is wrong.

Haven't gotten my period naturally since June 2025 - PCOS

I've had PCOS forever and for one yr it felt like my period was starting to become natural again. This was after I had an ED and begun eating normally again. I was at around 52sh kg and then it slowly went up to 60kg. I was still good until then.

Idk what happened but I started gaining weight even tho I walked like 10K steps everyday and my lifestyle changed a bit so I stopped walking that much and even stopped exercising once a week. I also gained a lot of weight and now I'm at 70 kg.

The weight gain was reallyyyyyy visible until I fasted for a month and that's when things have been good. But I haven't gotten my period still! I was on some medication in December (i forgot what it's called) but it gave me such a heavy period.

My mom doesn't want me on birth control (I'm 19), instead, she has me on these homeopathic medicines we're trying, but they're not working. Last time in 2024 they did. But this time it's not. I'm really tired of having this issue. I feel like such a lesser woman without my period. I grow so much body and facial hair and it's starting to mess with my confidence. It feels like I can never lose weight and I look at old photos of my body when it was doing better and it makes me sad.

My doctor isn't much help. She recommended me for a specialist in July. And she still says I have a "chance of PCOS" .. I've gone to so many doctors that i'm just tired. It took so long for a diagnosis. Sometimes I wonder if I ruined my period myself because in 2023 before my ED i was getting it regularly even if it skipped a month. Idk guys.

I need advice, help, anything. I'm so tired :(

Soooo Do i repay my previous loan or should I wait until I graduate?

For context. My loan right now is around $5,000 something. With the OSAP changes, my loan is expected to be around $5,000. In total, my loans will rack up to $10,000, and I'm only in my second yr.

What should I do? My parents told me before to take the money the gov gives me, and I can repay when I graduate cuz they'll likely forgive my loan, but I'm not going into any of the professions where they would forgive loans. Grad school seems like a distant dream now ughhh

For context, I'm doing a degree in polisci and crim. Pls dont make comments about how I'm going to be unemployed cuz we all r. thx
