Can someone suggest me a guide for practicals (phy, chem n bio)
M not satisfied with the practicals in my school, is there a book endorsed by Cambridge university which covers all the information needed for practical examinations.

Please help :)

I went the whole nine yards with Biology and Chemistry practicals last year, still got a B and a C for bio and chem practicals respectively. Did manage to pull off an A in both subjects though. I don't mean to rain on your parade ofcourse but if you feel practicals aren't your strongest ally, do not walk into that exam hall without knowing your theory 100 %. Two high As will definitely have your back when p3 bails out on you. I'm only telling u this because i wish someone had told me that last year hahah..goodluck !
