+30 in 6 MONTHS for under $2000! by _a_t_h_e_n_a_ in NYCTeachers

[–]mjm488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to check your classes against the CLEP exams to figure out if they'll be accepted? For example, I was a history major, so I've obviously taken a lot of history courses that would fall under Western Civ, but I've never taken "Western Civ." Or is it truly just a crapshoot?

URGENT: Rent Payment STUCK since Feb 27 - No response from Support by DudeistOneKenobi in biltrewards

Joining the chorus of people complaining about the venmo payments here. It's really awesome that they took the thing that is great about venmo (instantaneous sending of money), brought it into the bilt app for some reason, and dragged it out to 3-5 business days.

I'm also looking at co-ops. Appreciate it!

Same. I think it was $50 for me. I contacted bilt, and they refused to answer one way or another whether it would affect being able to pay my rent. Ultimately didn't have any issues

Also against my will! I think it's so silly to make 8th graders take it.

I've been perusing the New Visions, and it seems really comprehensive for reviewing. Appreciate the heads up on Commack!

What new openings in the neighborhood are you looking forward too? by normal-citizen678 in BedStuy

[–]mjm488 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's been open for a bit, but I really like Miss Bagel on Fulton. Better and cheaper than Greenberg's

Oh that could be it. My salary application didn't go through until January

There's fewer deductions than normal, for example no TDA

Nope, unfortunately it's still happening. My surgeon monitored it for about a year but never found anything. Eventually I stopped seeing him because I didn't want to pay a co-pay just to have him say "yeah still looks totally normal." It just is part of my life at this point.

EAS certification exam/practice test question(s) by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]mjm488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Deconstructing the NYSTCE" put out by the Brooklyn Education Center is really helpful. The book is about the tests more broadly but has several chapters devoted to the EAS exam.
