    Can someone please summarize chromatography for me? I will love you forever for that.

    The application booklet gives a bit more excess than I think I need. So please summarize the main points, what I should know, please

    Physics Paper 5 essentials for the "Planning" section (Generalized points to help you score better!)

    Ok, so these are just a few tips so you can remember what exactly you have to write to get marks. These points are common to all papers (with a very very few exceptions). Still, I'm no expert and do not guarantee anything! Part 1: Identify dependent variable, Identify independent...

    Are the books available in the xtremepapers "papers" section enough to prepare for the SAT II?

    I'm giving the subject tests of Mathematics Level II and Physics. Are those books too outdated to be useful? Because they are around 2002 or so....all of them. So I was wondering if I should go out there to buy books. Or has the syllabus not changed much?

    Do you think I need to retake any tests with these grades?

    Well, I took GP 8004 and Biology, both in which I got B's. I'm just wondering if I should retake them aiming for A. Specially GP, since I don't care much for Biology as I don't see it in my future and I'm unsure if a B in GP will make my college level application look good or bad. I am looking...

    A few things for Physics MCQ to remember (points that people usually forget or don't know at all)

    Ok, just some things you dont normally find in books, or some things that will help you do your calculations without calculating anything. People usually forget these things, and some dont know them at all (Sorry the lambda symbol looks cranky, just couldnt find the real one) In a closed...

    Does A or A* in every subject ensure I'll get a good scholarship in my abroad studies?

    Seems like that's all I can think of right now. That coveted 'A'. But I'm just wondering, does it help in getting scholarship or does it depend on SATs and whatnot.

    CIE is running out of questions.

    It happened in chemistry paper 12. I noticed that some questions had been repeated in the 2011 papers(belonging to 2002-2008 papers) and so I thought that might happen again. So I studied only past papers and i was right! Around 15 questions or so were from the past papers in the exam i gave the...

    Read this please........many people made this mistake in physics paper 2 the previous years.

    I'm not saying you don't know this or anything, it turns out many have not been able to answer this type of question in previous years, according to the chief examiner. Ok, so there is a system where a load hangs by a wire or a rope, anything that can have tension. The wire is moving...

    People out there......please read this. It's a sad story about my chemistry practicals.

    I did paper 34 yesterday. For the first titration, I was super fast. I had already completed four titrations and gotten two values close to each other, while others were struggling with their second titration. But fate played a cruel trick on me. I was soooo happy I had finished the first one so...

    Poll: Which science subject do you find the hardest in as/a levels?

    I find physics interesting and not that difficult, and I love the practicals. I find biology uninteresting and regret taking it. You just have to learn so many things by heart! I used to find chemistry as hard as hell but turns out its easy later. (All this only in my AS levels, after may/june...
