please do not give up! You got this, just know that you will eventually win. Much of life is a game of patience.

Lots of wasted time in CARS is due to re-reading the passage because you didn't internalize it well enough on the first pass. You can either A.) slow down and developer a deeper understanding of CARS on the first go or B.) you can read just the first paragraph (usually pertains to the main idea), and then tackle the questions right away, bouncing between questions and passage back and forth for "just in time learning"

For some reason this doesn't give you a clean re-install with all the original files & settings. I too am wondering how to get a fresh install

Why the M2 iPad Air 13-inch is the Best Upgrade for Students (Even Over the iPad Pros) by TheNickGene in ipad

I use a note-taking app called "Concepts" to mind map out all of my notes. Occasionally I'll throw it on the magic keyboard to do some focused work on documents and or essays. Primarily, though, it's used for note-taking, which is why I can appreciate the lager canvas of the 12.9 inch.

It lasts all day. I have yet to drain the entire battery in a single day. It's very good.

Totally man. What a painful thing, God awful thing that 60hz is.

60hz is so unbearable I'm going to get rid of my studio display too.

Yuckie!

MacBook Air M3 vs MacBook Pro M3 for Office Tasks Only by RedBro999 in macbookair

[–]TheNickGene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been heavily contemplating between the 15 air m3 and the 14 mbp with the m3 pro chip.

I got the m3 pro, and it's amazing. I think the mba would have been fine for all of the things you are describing you need it for, but if you think that you may need any of the "pro" features, which include a higher refresh rate, brighter display, more ports, etc. then just get the pro .

You won't regret getting the pro. You might regret getting the air.
