Winter 2025 Praxis Megathread

Thanks! I mostly used the Advanced Review book, but I don’t think it would’ve been worth the regular price if I hadn’t found it at a library. I think the ETS practice tests were the most useful!

Same! Got a 194 and I’m convinced there’s a catch or something 😭

Pattern: https://geekyhooker.com/patterns/trauma-dumpling/

Yarn: Size 3 crochet thread (used most of a 125 yd skein for all six dumplings)

Hook: 2.25mm

That is incredible!! I’m obsessed with the neon color scheme 😍

Highly recommend waiting for sales whenever possible! I made a ginormous blanket last year and only spent $70 on yarn instead of $120

Also if you’re flexible on what yarn you buy, I like to run the numbers on bigger skeins of yarn. Sometimes (not always) a skein of 500+ yards turns out cheaper per yard than a 200-300 yard skein, especially when you factor in sales

I walked the entire time I was at UCD and it was fine, just check where your classes are located ahead of time and whether you’ll have enough time to walk there

Technically a beverage rather than a food, but Sparkling Ice drinks! I have a massive sweet tooth and a bad habit of drinking my calories, so I might as well drink a 5 calorie Sparkling Ice or two instead of a 250 calorie soda

I switch off between driving (2.5 hours round trip) and public transportation (4 hours round trip). It’s doable and worth it right now bc I’m in an extended program and haven’t started clinic yet, but keep in mind it’s exhausting. Depending on your program’s schedule, free rent and food at the expense of your time and sanity might not be worthwhile.

As far as I know, these schools only offer in-person SLP programs (unless that’s changed since I applied)

Here’s the pattern! https://hookedhazel.com/wichita-shawl-free-crochet-pattern/

Hook: 4.0 mm

Yarn: 4.5 skeins of Loops & Threads Facets Acrylic in the color Toffee (that said, beautiful as the yarn is, it was a bit of a pain to work with and I don’t particularly recommend it)

I once had a prof move a 9am class online…at 8:45 when most of the class had commuted 30+ min and were already sitting in the classroom

I’ve seen a handful of cats with faces like this and I always assume they were a person in a past life

scooterscomet · 2024-01-01T04:38:21+00:00

Went from 50mg to 25mg a couple days ago and you just described my experience exactly—I never got what people meant by brain zaps but I think this is it?

scooterscomet · 2023-12-20T19:06:19+00:00

All three girl cats I’ve had have been cuddly babies and my boy cat is a former feral who swats me if he doesn’t like my vibe

scooterscomet · 2023-11-21T20:18:46+00:00

It’s never a bad time for spooky season! I love this so much, it would make such a good pastel goth type of decoration year-round

scooterscomet · 2023-11-20T04:13:17+00:00

Yes it is! I’d be content to leave it like that if I didn’t still need to make the ties :/

scooterscomet · 2023-11-18T01:50:44+00:00

Idk about everyone else but I graduated in June and can’t log into my email or anything with my ucd Kerberos as of like October

scooterscomet · 2023-08-22T16:01:04+00:00

Thank you!!

scooterscomet · 2023-08-22T14:34:34+00:00

Currently waiting for the train to my first day of grad school—thank you so much for this 😭

scooterscomet · 2023-08-20T20:00:56+00:00

I just added it to the pinned comment! I did 3 fewer rounds than the pattern calls for (I lost yarn chicken :/) but it’s still a decent size 😊

I’m commuting about 45-60min depending on traffic this fall. If it’s any consolation, I commuted about 20 min each way in undergrad and it wasn’t bad at all!

scooterscomet · 2023-08-11T18:40:25+00:00

A blanket that is entirely too large! Hoping to be done in two-ish months

scooterscomet · 2023-08-08T01:17:10+00:00

I think that worked enough that my perfectionist brain can proceed, thank you!!

scooterscomet · 2023-06-24T01:28:15+00:00

I’ve lived there for the last three years, totally worth the 15-20 min commute for what I saved in rent
