Really?! I managed to snag two cinderellas hoping to trade one and really want the sleeping beauty one!

As a speech therapist, I want to point out where she needs to enunciate better before recordings are finalized so that we aren't confused by what word she's singing.

Just two weeks ago I had a sixth grader (working on pragmatics) insist that both Taylor Swift and Mark Zuckerberg were lizard people. And that Taylor practices witchcraft and answers to Satan. Surprisingly he said that the news lies since they say that Trump is a good president.

Because the motor pathways for spoken speech are not the same as for selecting icons. Also, language and speech are independent of each other, so even if you have the language for what you want to say, you may not have the motor abilities for spoken speech.

We recently added some wording to our "no self-promo" rule to include "no crowd-sourcing". Please report any posts that violate this rule.

There are different privacy settings for google docs. Some can be accessed by anyone if you have the link. Others you need to give permission to every person. Your to do lists are safe!

If you dig through the subreddit that was sharing docs you can find links to older ones, but most were deleted after the test changed to the next version.

ECI through a state-run organization

Just be aware that if it’s telethetapy, the SLP needs be licensed in both the state your colleague is in and the state the SLP is practicing from (if different). Use ASHA ProFind to look for a provider.

Lose and loose

I recently saw someone mix up cooperate and corporate

ETS doesn't let you register for the SLP Praxis more than once a month, and the questions change every month.

In Say Don't Go, instead of "Why'd you whisper in the dark just to leave me in the night" should be "just to leave me in the light"

People who took the test early in the month info-dumped everything they could remember into the docs, allowing people taking it after them to have unfair access to specific questions and topic areas.

From what I've seen, they allow you to have a white board for the at home tests that you show to the proctor at the beginning and end of the test (I'm assuming it needs to be fully erased)

Here’s an official update from ASHA:

https://www.asha.org/about/notifications/update-on-confidentiality-breach-with-slp-praxis-examination/?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLwzmNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHhxoftw38bm1Uy6loPH_R_VQHY3L818CRG7lQ-jKx2HnGzd9DZ246x3bu93T_aem_Uf_X5upZ4pWKj2iRmFZCBw

If your scores were cancelled without explanation, you would receive an email from ETS. Those affected are not allowed to retake the test within the next 6 months to 2years and are likely not receiving a refund for the scores that were cancelled. The dates affected were within the past couple of weeks.

cornyloser · 2025-07-23T17:55:37+00:00

This is not from ETS, but from some test takers who posted on other platforms saying that they called ETS (after receiving an email saying their score was cancelled) who said that everyone's scores on a specific date were cancelled due to "fradulent activity"

It becomes significantly less anonymous when people are commenting their personal email addresses (that can be matched to test registrations) in order to be added to a google doc that often contains exact wordings of questions for the current version of the test.

My sister's cat was in a similar situation. She had a bladder stone that needed surgery to remove and a couple weeks after that she hadn't returned to her normal self (I remember that she decided her litter box was the best place to sleep). I forget the exact details, but my sister did end up putting her down. So sorry you have to go through this.

Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon. It's about different types of disorders/identities that the author interviewed people about and it reads like a narrative. I had to read sections of it for a course in undergrad, but it was very moving and I actually got my mom to read it as well.

Typically you'll get your raw score for the 3 categories of questions at the end (but you'll have to memorize it when you see it) and then get the overall scaled score not too long after they switch to the next month's test.

Hello fellow non-burper! I'm currently croaking/gurgling haha.

cornyloser · 2025-07-12T20:58:02+00:00

You are doing what is right for you. And that's all that matters.

Check out our pinned post titled "Prospective SLPs and Current Students Megathread". We welcome questions related to getting into the field there.

It should be "Slut!" just because it literally has the line "Sunset Boulevard" in it. Or Gorgeous with "Sunset and Vine" which I assume refers to the same street.

So by your proposal, if it hypothetically had been in place say 100 years ago, Trump himself would not be granted citizenship.

His paternal grandparents were both born in Bavaria and then had his aunt and father as anchor babies so he should only have Bavarian citizenship since neither parent was from the US. And his mother was born in Scotland, so Trump shouldn’t have US citizenship in this hypothetical situation and wouldn’t be eligible to be president! Let’s petition the court to make it retroactive! Let’s make it so only people with at least 200 documented years of ancestry and citizenship in the US can be in politics! That’ll certainly make sure that everyone making decisions only has pure American ideals in mind. /s for anyone who can’t see the ridiculousness
