I'm afraid to say, but i don't mean to scare you, but so far chemistry practicals are concerned, you need a 2-year preparation for a full preparation. There are so many types, so many ways CIE asks questions and you should be familiar with. Plus the past papers, doing all of them, i don't think 15 days will be enough for you to be well prepared for the exam. I'm sorry, i'm just saying from my own experience. Good luck.

I think it can be done in 15 days however u need to be very clear with concepts of titration and calculations of moles and stuff.....the practical part is easy if u can see few videos from youtube and practice 15 days u can do it.....but u must remember the key points.

if a persons cocepts of titration and salt analysis are good he can do it in a day or two. all he neeeds to do is learn salt analysis table( not necassary) saves time and see past papers for molar calculations

are you talking about the graph of chem? well we have to draw line of best fit or a curve and in some cases(rare) two lines

yup i remember this from atp last year basically when you will plot the points you will see that it will form a curve . few points increasing few decreasing . so you draw a line of best fit through increasing points and another through decreasing points,then you will see that they intersect at a point, . then u write down its point of intersection which is usually the endpoint of the reaction.

there is no way we can draw that but u sure that u have drawn it right????????? you have taken change in temprature not the temprature
for small intervals, the temp change arent much....the graph i uploaded is rough, bt my actual graph looked lyk dat(temp change against volm).........i took 3cm3 intervals
