Florida Civic Literacy Exam

I am taking the Florida Civic Literacy exam on Wednesday, October 30th at 9:00 am and it is my first time making it. I have been studying a lot however is it easy or hard? Is it just all multiple choice questions or are there parts that need to be done orally? How many questions are on the test? What is going to be on the test? I have very bad ADHD and Anxiety. I also have very bad testing anxiety when I take tests.

This college is a joke

So, like the title of my post, this school is honestly the biggest joke I've ever seen/heard. It initially started at the beginning of this past summer semester, i was re-enrolling after a 3 year pause. There was an issue with the admissions office needing a copy of a transcript for a college i went to for less than a month back in 2017 which had no official transcript because i moved and never finished 1 class. Then, it turned into the bookstore, not wanting to use my pell grant to pay for my books and supplies. I had to drive to the Winter Haven campus for this issue because nobody at lakeland seems to know what they are doing. So now onto my current issues. Per a conversation with the Dean of Students, I needed to submit doctor notes and a petition to change a low grade to a W, as I missed assignments due to an ongoing medical problem (I have cancer) and I would be able to enroll in classes this semester after the Dean removed the hold. Here it is almost 3 weeks later. The Dean keeps denying that he received any of my (3 attempts since this past Thursday) petitions, so I emailed him, admissions, his assistant and my advisor the forms again only to be told by my advisor it'd take 2 months to "potentially approve it" but there's no guarantee I'll even be able to enroll next semester. How is it that an advisor can overrule what the Dean told me? How is it possible the advisor got the attachments in the same email that I sent the Dean, but he never received it? If anyone else has had these issues, let me know so I know I'm not crazy. This school honestly has me wanting to scream. I'm honestly considering leaving polk State and going to HCC.

*small edit: so they all finally acknowledged the emails as of 4pm on Tuesday afternoon but still insisted it will be 60 days before I receive my letter stating what the board has decided at which point the new semester will be starting and my "suspension" will be over but by that point my tuition waiver (aged out of foster care at 18) will no longer be valid. But at this point, I'm one step away from unenrolling and going to Hillsborough Community College. Maybe I'll have better luck with their administrators there.

**2nd update: So the petition is finally approved after several weeks of fighting on this. However, it's now too late to enroll in classes, but it's not like it really matters because I'm still on "academic suspension." Do these petitions even mean anything to anyone?

Looking for housing suggestions

Hey guys! I’m a new student to Polk State college, and I’m in my sophomore year. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on where to look for housing, as most of what I could find online is either a long drive from campus, or costs way too much. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong place? Thanks!
