I took my daughter to get her permit test two weeks ago.

The practice test app is very helpful, take it over and over, and read why you got answers wrong.

When you go to the DMV, you will take the test at a kiosk. Passing the test means getting 16 questions right and no more than 2 wrong, and what most people don't know is that you can skip as many questions as you like, until you get questions you know. In that way, the test is very easy and forgiving.

As a mother and seasoned driver, I do encourage you to read the entire permit manual, even if you do so after passing the permit test. Understanding the rules of the road is very important because, as you will soon learn, a vital part of driving is learning to expect how other drivers will behave, as well as making your behavior understandable to them. Good luck!

We had one of each locally. The Jamesway was turned into a local grocery store and the ames building changed hands a few times before becoming the Aldi it is now. What I remember from them are price stickers, the last stores I remember before shopping was entirely computerized. Iirc, they died around the time we got a walmart

Breathe. :) Keystone exams are end of course proficiency exams - they are meant to measure if you understood the point of the course. They don't require perfection. Like you said, you have plenty of time. If you don't achieve a proficient score your first go, you do get more chances: Students who do not pass the Keystone Exam score must receive remedial instruction and must retake the Keystone Exam until a passing final course grade is achieved. After two unsuccessful attempts, students will be eligible to demonstrate proficiency through the completion of a project-based assessment that will be scored by a team of regional teachers.

But the point of keystones are to show that you have passed the class. If your homework, quizzes, and tests are passing, you will likely do ok in the Keystone test if you study.

I would encourage you to speak with your teacher after class about your concerns - they can give you specific advice on where you can best focus your studying.

Good luck!

All good, it encouraged me to look further, learn more, and (I hope) bring valuable information to the conversation, and you just did it again (but please stop now, I gotta actually work lol)

I'm not loving what I learned about attorney general results, but let's look even more closely at new candidates

For governors, 1-3 out of 15 new candidates won (7-20%). For senators, out of 14 new senate candidates, 5-8 won (36-57%). Attorney generals is 4-6 out of 12 (33-50%). *my opinion* is that each of those win percentages will stay under 50%.

Fair. I'm generalizing. I was thinking of the specific election deniers that were boosted by democrats in the primaries, being viewed as easier to defeat in the general in competitive races. In that (admittedly small sampling), all have lost (or in Kari Lake's case, may lose but definitely did not decisively win)

For election deniers in general (this tracks only attorney generals, governors, and senators, we see the following:

Out of 12 election deniers running for attorney general, 6 lost, 2 remain too close to call. None of these candidates were incumbents

Out of 22 election denying governor candidates, 7 won re-election, of which 6 were incumbents. 3 remain too close to call, including incumbent Mike Dunleavy in Alaska. None of the losers or the other two uncalled races are incumbents.

Out of 19 election denying senate candidates, 10 won re-election, of which 5 were incumbents. 3 races are too close to call, none of whom are incumbent. None of the losers are incumbents.

So in general, being the republican or incumbent in a traditionally republican race is a far more winning factor than their denial of the election. Election denial was not a winning strategy in this election.

Maybe. But even in that article, the lady who calls herself "that Trump bitch" was dumped by her boyfriend in the face of Mastriano's clear loss. The Oz/Mastriano signs in my area came down overnight, as opposed to Trump/Pence signs that persisted for months. 2020 election deniers were repudiated across the board (pending Arizona results notwithstanding). I think (hope) the mass delusion that exploded around the 2020 election is starting to fade. It's not over or gone, but it's losing followers, not gaining them. If I don't have a ton of hope yet, at least I have relief.

Just imagine what everyone in that room had convinced themselves what God, America, Pennsylvania, and Mastriano are. phew. I wonder for how many of them the delusion finally faded Tuesday night.

thirded, also in Montco. Not happy they are here, but glad to know where they are.

I expect this is heavily influenced by where you live, what typical turnout for that location is, and possibly what party you are registered under. I'm sure they are going to blitz traditionally low-turnout areas.

Yes, but doing so also drives away the natural predators of deer and allows their population to grow unchecked. This is bad for other herbivores that compete with deer for food, bad for us in terms of dangers on our roadways and spread of disease, and bad for the deer who may encounter painful death.

Keeping balance in their population is important, as is keeping their species in healthy numbers. Hunting does serve a necessary purpose with deer, especially in developing areas.

I swear I've had more close calls in the last few years, including one where Bambi literally stopped in front of me on the road and challenged me to a staring contest.
