What to do if I’m trying to file a bankruptcy on my own but I was previously going to file with my husband who I have now separated from?

We both completed the initial required class a year ago. Now that I am filing by myself do I have to take this pre-required class again? I am also having a lot of difficulty with the ‘means test’ I am on a fixed income that is set to expire next month, is the means test still a requirement if it’s just myself and I am on fixed income with no assets in my name?
