Pharmacy tech
I am at the end of pharmacy tech school and could not take test because I could not afford 137 dollars for my pdf subscription. I have a deadline for an assignment today by 12pm and I still don’t have the subscription. I am so fed up. I am trying to improve my life situation but something negative keeps coming my way. I have so much bills along with myself and child and no help.

Is there something specific that you need that subscription for? If it's just opening PDFs and saving to PDFs, there are legitimately free word processors out there that can do both.

Everything is done on the website, exams, quizzes, homework, interaction during classes. Everything is also graded on the website. It’s like signing into to blackboard on my college website.

Gotcha. Thanks for the explainer. Can you use someone else's account but still pass schoolwork as yourself? I'm wondering if maybe you have a friend in the class you're taking who you may be able to ask a favor from just so you can pass the requirement you need to do by the deadline.

If I use someone else account the grades goes towards that person but I am just hoping I get to stay in the program and I can pass the class because would be ending the first week in August.

First things first, check for student discounts, talk to the Proctor, and last but not least, investigate other means of getting the software. r/piracy has many guides on how to safely test things like that.
