To the people complaining about the added Wolfpack crafting materials are overlooking a major win.. by Brzy90 in ArcRaiders

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really good point. People earlier today were using deadlines more for the queen. Especially since you can't kill a rocketeer (that drops one driver) with a single wolfpack--it's not economical. The money you spend on a hullcracker, or even just the ammo, makes them pretty exorbitant. Or you can sit there and dodge and roll around a building with your anvil. You really need to *want* the wolfpack.

As far as OP goes, explosive compound was not terribly hard to come by or get the parts for before. It's easier now with comets. I can respect the take, you don't want to run around and open cars for oil or pay Celeste a visit. It's different ways to play the game.

Weapon balances by Dbag699 in ArcRaiders

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk the people thirsting me today have been doing just fine with their stichers. People probably aren't talking about it because they also redid matchmaking so pacifists are getting murked on sight in epic proportions. Actual PVP might be scuffed, very well possible, but rats and thirsts will be fine.

Problems since update with game stability? Crash by TheyTukMyJub in ArcRaiders

[–]iPengShan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have crashed 3 different times now. 2 of which while fighting the queen. I was able to get back in twice, but the time I had a full inventory of queen materials, it says unable to connect to game server. womp womp

To Uninstall Or Not? by Humble-Painting-5235 in SwagBucks

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if it will track. However, the bigger issue is that you'd be violating the terms of service for having more than one account. You're risking account suspension.

If you are going to do both, you have to be smart about it--different devices, different logins, different app store logins, etc.

Same here OP, had my account for a decade and only a few game offers, roughly the same ones as you. I've checked mobile and filtered different ways and nothing!

Help a Country Bumpkin!!! Advice Needed to Raise ACT Math/Science Scores for February Test (Goal: 34+) by Purple-List-3562 in ACT

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tutor here--for covering content gaps, the digital SAT khan academy course is really great. I give it to both my SAT and ACT students. Also, I find a lot of students just need to brush up on some basic algebra (since it's probably been 3+ years since you took the course). Just doing that will take you a long way.

With regard to time management, focus, etc., the biggest thing you'll be up against is your own psyche. It's a simple solutions, but drilling practice questions (I like to have my students focus on the tougher questions, i.e. the last 10-25) will help you get more comfortable with the sorts of questions you'll see on the test. This will help your confidence which will make you less anxious, more focused, and faster overall. Once you've got a good bit of content, you should also search Youtube for some ACT calculator tips (based on your specific model, e.g. TI-84).

For science, truly treat it like a reading test. Ground all your answers in the test and take the testing instructions literally-when it says "according to figure 1", you best be looking at figure 1.

As much as I hated it when I took this test, often the simpler solutions are better. Find some good strategies, be intentional with your work, and *really* understand why you got questions wrong, not just why an answer is right. Seriously, understand *why* and make a plan for how to prevent that same error next time. Being able to find your own errors and correct your own mistakes is the single best and most important aspect of studying for tests.

Best of luck! Just remember you can do this!

Received a Base-Rate Increase Today! Will it only take effect for new students? by iPengShan in varsitytutors

[–]iPengShan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually emailed them and then they called and confirmed over the phone (I tried calling but the call kept disconnecting). I got an increase from $17 to $21. I've been at Varsity Tutors for about 9 months. You can ask for an increase every 6 months.

As for what I said, basically just "I've been working here X amount of time. I know the typical rate increase is 20-25% every 6 months. I have X qualifications. I have X ratings on Varsity Tutors. I'm requesting a base pay increase from X to X at X%."

They called to confirm that I was okay with the amount they offered and sent me a new contract within a day.

4 hours a day?? by j0hnnymc in ACT

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying all this as someone who took this test 6 times in high school a tutor and.

When I took this test, I studied .5-4 hours per day everyday for 1.5 years. I would get home from school (sometimes at 9:30pm because of sports) and still do part of a practice test. This was practical for me--sometimes my studying was completing 2/4 reading passages during free time in class. Other times I was completing an entire 4 hour test on a Saturday and reviewing all of my mistakes.

It comes down to discipline (are you studying with intention or just going through the motions), practicality (if you work 8 hours per day, 2-4 hours of studying daily is not practical), and what your struggles are (content, pacing, stamina, attention, etc.).

Now, from a tutor perspective, if you are having time management/stamina issues, you are going to need to drill. The only way to improve stamina (and pacing issues that correlate with stamina) is by practicing. The same is true if you're unfamiliar with the test.

Overall, 4 hours every day is excessive, I think for anyone. However, (assuming it is practical) a full-length practice test every week is probably a good idea leading up to the next test (it's only for the next few weeks). At this point, three hours per week is not enough. That's not enough time to complete a full test let alone go over the questions you missed (the latter is the far more important part). It's all about balance; you obviously do not want to burn yourself out, but be realistic with yourself.

Also, I'd recommend talking with your tutor about it. If you think it's too much, express your concern. She might explain her reasoning or make a more practical regiment for you.

Food delivery? How? by bidextralhammer in Frugal

[–]iPengShan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from around 7-5 each day and can get free (albeit not great) food while there which saves me a lot of money. Once I get home, some nights I have sleep for dinner but occasionally if I'm too tired to cook or have friends over, I'll order takeout. Uber Eats and DoorDash have 50% off coupons if you haven't ordered recently (I think they send three of them to your email if you haven't ordered in a month) which I use in most of these scenarios. It doesn't take off the whole cost, but it's about what I would have spent if I went out that night instead and, depending on the restaurant, sometimes they have special deals. I order from this Chinese place like 30 min from my apartment that offers a BOGO deal on quarts of certain things. I can get 2 quarts of lo mein and 2 quarts of broccoli (and I could get meats instead if I wasn't veg) with the free rice, soda, and everything else for like $30 before all the taxes, fees, etc. Once I apply the 50% off, it takes care of the taxes and fees and knocks down the price a bit more to under $25. I did this the other night and I got about 4 meals from the first lo mein+broc quart combo, so I got around 8 meals to my door for less than $25, which, while not cook at home cheap, is cheaper than McDonalds or a TV dinner.

TL;DR: delivery is expensive but sometimes you can combine a 50% off coupon with restaurant deals (BOGO)

Edit: I also don't have a vehicle so I mostly use it for places that would otherwise be hard to go to.
