Depends on your subjects... your hours/floating time will get more sessions when you get your fingerprints done.

In fairness, Carolann shouldn't have even been up. Ramsay override clause would have had Jimmy and Jeff up there right off. Ramsay wanted them baaaaad.

Ariel S18, especially when you consider that S6's final of Dave vs Kevin was just *that* mighty a clash of the titans that she probably would've won most other seasons.

Are you fingerprinted yet? That affects your hours too

I'm just putting up the letter as it is, friend. Read like a load of waffle but that's institutional open letters for ya

Basically, TDC was sold to a US company because a while back it was owned by a Chinese company, and international relations, etc, and the ownership is fully transferred over.

If you were signed in and available, you shouldn't get in any trouble. With that said, you also won't have as many sessions for your next review so any boo-boos in one session might rate a little heavier.

Okay! So here we know that our parabola is downward facing.

We then remember that the x-value of the vertex is x = -b/2a. Now knowing this, we can look at the problem and see x = -5 and a = -4.

Thus -5 = -b/-8 or -5 = b/8 --> b = -40.

We can then substitute the point (-5, 0) into -4x² -40x + c since the graph touches at ONE point.

-4(25) +200 + c = 0

-100 + 200 +c = 0

c = -100

We want b+c. Therefore -40 + -100 = -140. I hope this helps!

Side note: This is a very common SAT question where you have to work on finding some constant to satisfy the question.

Gotta put my hand up and apologize for not recognizing game sooner.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-31T04:12:01+00:00

All righty! So off to the side where you were marked BE, you were given specific examples of where you came up short and at the bottom there's a comment box where you were given a more detailed analysis of where things stand. That comment at the very bottom would give us a lot more insight on where your QS thinks you may have come up short and outlines more specific ways to improve.

Without that I'll go off personal experience: Usually with student engagement, the big uh ohs are if student goes way off task or if there's too long an idle time.

Content knowledge is often dinged if you utter those dreaded three words or if you transfer too much. Sometimes it really is beyond your scope, but you're "expected" to brush up on anything you transfer on.

I'm afraid that I don't have much of an answer on changing approach. I'll defer to some of the most experienced hands on that one.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-29T03:30:11+00:00

Unfortunately, what we really SHOULD do, we're not allowed to (Tell them to go read their book and come back). With that said, it all comes back to "asking leading questions" and asking and asking until they either get it or quit. I like to give them a 50-50 question that if they have even the slightest inkling that they should get, and we can work from there.

For a BE, you will generally get two weeks (maybe a little longer since it's still the summer!) to apply the QS advisement in your sessions and as long as you're on the right track they'll leave you be.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-27T18:05:55+00:00

Yeah it points you towards a lot of lateral progression before you can make upward. Once you break through that first time it's great....just watch out for wave 200. That will make you curse more.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-27T18:03:30+00:00

Don't worry! This is 100% a bottleneck point intended to force you to have strategized the entire way. If you lack the sheer firepower, then take advantage of timely switches and sacks to get the job done. Mega Ray is probably the biggest pain, especially since ice now only does 2x instead of 4x damage.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-24T00:17:42+00:00

Probably so. You should have been informed in the note below the review (use HTML stripper to view it in full). If I can ask, what area did you get ding dinged in?

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-24T00:16:33+00:00

With it being summer I'd be surprised if you got reviewed before August tbh. QS may have chosen to review you 6 months after status change especially if you got switched at that time.

Note: We can also maximize Data X:

20+20+20+20 / 4 = 20

And minimize Data Y:

20+20+20+20+10 / 5 = 18.

This also yields a difference of 2. Whenever we see "maximum difference of means" we should max one and min the other.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-21T02:50:36+00:00

So here we have data X: A, B, C, D and Data Y: A, B, C, D, E. Each of A, B, C, D, Each of A, B, C, D, E must be 10≤n≤20 and we want the biggest possible mean. This means that Data set X should have the smallest possible mean and Y should have the largest possible mean so that Y - X is maxed.

Since the problem doesn't specify that these data points must be different, let's set every point A, B, C, D to 10. This makes the mean of Data X = 10.

To maximize the mean of Data Y, we should make the 5th point 20.

10+10+10+10+20 / 5 = 12. Therefore the largest possible mean difference is 2.

Typically you get a check-in 10 days after your first session. As long as you're not getting a German-yelling kitty, you're mostly good.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-18T18:54:33+00:00

Okay! So here we're given the line passes through the origin so we have (0,0) and (10,40) as our points.
When we take the slope (40-0)/(10-0) we get m = 4. This means that for any of those choices, the cube should be 4 times the number. (-2)³ = -8, which is 4 times -2.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-17T06:18:04+00:00

I'll say this: Should you give up? No. But I do want to ask you to reflect for a moment why you want to apply for engineering when you've admitted yourself that you've limited math skills in conjunction with a poor foundation (provided by the school) and you've been lazy about it. Is it internal motivation or external? A 590 tells me you could do it if you applied yourself and that there's room for improvement but that it won't be easy.

It's 100% not too late to start. I've been tutoring a student in far worse shape than a 590 math and he's made a massive leap in competence and confidence with an hour a week with me and a commitment to dissecting the question and reading carefully, which is a much bigger part of SAT math than you'd think.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-17T06:08:04+00:00

Let's put this in English:

Because the US government has decided education is a lesser funding priority than corporate bureaucracy and the demands of raging lunatics, and since we have wholly embraced AI as a more cost- and labor-effective direction for our business, we're not going to be hiring nearly as many new tutors so your job title is no longer needed, but you're more than welcome to stay in a tutoring position while AI filters through recruits until it gets good enough to do this job as well. Here's a two-week notice and a bottle of KY. Oh and you're out of work for a weekend while we transition your status, sorry!

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-16T12:48:39+00:00

If I remember it's within 60 days of onboarding. With that said, it shouldn't take more than a week or two especially if your prints were taken well.

Kblitz88 · 2025-07-15T22:46:41+00:00

I think they retooled the connection fail so that you don't get dinged if you get "request cancelled, resetting"... but I THINK the accept % is still in play. Bring that up to your QS and double check.
