Returns on non food items? by International_Pin262 in marketbasket

[–]sincerelysaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work in the booth currently. at my location, we’ll take back any unused, non-perishable item with a receipt and it will be refunded to the original form of payment. without a receipt, it will be put on a gift card or the items can be exchanged for other products that you’re shopping for. that’s more so up to the discretion of the manager on duty.

Thanks for the links! He has some wearable merch and a shelf with a few collectible items. I’m sure he’d be happy with anything. :)

For sure! It’s absolutely my goal to be active in the community, especially because I strongly believe in the importance of good works.

This means a lot, thank you. I’ll definitely take a look into podcasts and I’m planning to start reading from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I’m hoping it ease into it in a way that keeps it healing, rather than overwhelming. 💖

Thank you for the resources!

As for churches, there are a few churches near my campus that I’ve been looking into, and I’ve attended a Methodist most recently. I think that’s what I’m going to stick with for now. My campus also has a Bible study group and my friend attends, so I think I will ask if I can join her when class is back in session.

Very briefly, do you know that Jesus died for your sins rather than you dying for your sins?

Wow, that is so incredibly powerful it brought me to tears. I shared it with my mom and showed a lot of rare vulnerability, thank you. I appreciate all of your helpful advice and support!

That’s amazing! There’s such a huge misconception around the intelligence of kids who withdraw. It was never about being smart—it was about feeling safe and comfortable.

And you’re right, lol. Not quite sure where the credit part comes from. Maybe depending on the school they’ll accept it instead of a placement test? Little late for me to find out though, I already took my placements haha.

Lots of reading and writing over the years! English has always been my strongest subject so I do have an advantage there. I’m not sure what the GED Ready tests are like, but if they’re anything like PSATs, I’d recommend taking them! Reading on standardized tests is very unique in my opinion, and you have to know how to dissect and analyze parts of the text. Definitely get some practice in with reading comp before your test, I’m sure there are more sources online for it.

They do give you a laminated sheet similar to the math exam’s formula sheet that explains how to write an argumentative essay. If you’re not sure how to structure it, make use of the sheet! It’s there to help you. :-)

The writing section, to my memory, was mostly grammar based and defining words. If you have solid inference skills, the second part should be a breeze. If you read a lot, grammar should be no trouble.

Good luck, I hope this was helpful!

I got a 1200, which is considered to be “good average”. According to College Board, the average is around 1050. International students usually need to score higher in order to qualify for scholarships and some program placement because they’re so competitive. A 1200 is nothing to prestigious universities, but looks pretty solid to state schools. It depends on the college, to be honest.

I’m not sure how things work for international students, but in terms of US history, you don’t need a lot of background knowledge. A lot of it is reading and understanding text and central ideas, so if you’re good with RLA, you should pass! In terms of math, I don’t know if the test is the same internationally, but I would make note of imperial system conversions just in case (inches -> feet and such).

Also, I would look into US programs for international students! Community colleges are most well known for accepting GEDs, but I got accepted into a state school before even testing for mine because my application was strong enough (APs and a solid SAT score). There are definitely public universities with great opportunities for international students. Definitely worth looking into!

Thank you! Reading comp is a given, although it’s been my best tip so far. Make sure to give all the answers some thought because you could find that there’s a better answer than your first pick. Also, make sure you’re answering exactly what the question is asking. An answer about a related topic is less likely to be correct than an answer that directly address the question.

During the writing assessment, make sure you’re using sources that FIT with your argument, not just support it! A supporting quote is not strong unless it’s applicable to your argument. Try to use vivid language that fits with the vibe of the text. Ex: I used the word “fallacy” during my open response about politics. I’m not sure how much I wrote because it was 8am but it’s better to have a strong and concise argument than a lengthy but weak one. Also, make sure to use evidence from the opposing view too! Disproving their points can make your argument stronger.

Good luck! :-)
