I'm a bit confused...I mean in a question where they say "where does the equilibrium shift to" would I say it shifts to the left cuz it's favored, and so more is produced of the "favored" side? Or would I say it moves to the right?
Look, first you have to understand which side is the reactant and which side is the product.
For example:
2N + 3H2 --> 2NH3
<---

In this equation, the Right side is the product and left side is the reactants.
If we increase the pressure (We have to, for more yield), then the side with less molecules is right side (2 molecules) so it shifts to right side.
Then more product is produced.

In which order should the water, hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate solution be added to the beaker?

I've read that question and it's sodium thiosulphate->water->acid or water->sodium thiosulphate -> acid. You can tell, because in the question they add the HCl TO the sodium thiosulphate solution.

I have my own question.
What on earth is the suck back effect and when does it arise?

It arises when the delivery tube isn't removed from the water before the heat is turned off. http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge IGCSE/Chemistry (0620)/0620_w05_qp_6.pdf queston 6 is about that

Nop :) burette holds on 50cm cubes whilst a measuring cylinder holds up to a 100cm cubes :)
Measuring cylinders are MORE accurate :)
Nah, burette is more accurate than measuring cylinder!
Advantage: Measuring cylinder is easy to use and has a FAIRLY accurate results.
Disadvantage: It is not as accurate as burette.
