see this below

Q) I live on a 1 sq. mi island near Antarctica. Can I apply?
A) Please learn it by heart; our contests are always worldwide.

Haha thankyou, this is the power of a "Group doubt" Sorry once again and Thankyou. Can the notes be powerpoint slides, because those are more attractive and be more interesting for someone to learn with.

I don't really understand one thing, if someone uses Wikipedia and copies and pastes the notes, they are automatically disqualified right? So what about taking help from various books? Is that also counted as plagiarism and so not allowed? Because I don't get how we should come up with notes that are "exactly" our words. And it's not like we are some authors! Kindly answer this question.
Thank you!

Is it possible for two members to participate as a team by working together on the notes?

You can create a team if you wish to but all conversations will be made to the team leader only.

 

[PlanetMaster]

i read the post, didnt understand one thing
how are the final winners chosen? lucky draw?

On the basis of you application.

 

[PlanetMaster]

planet master what if my sample is almost 5000 words will that affect my chances of winning

Generally it is advisable to stay within 600-1000 words but you can go as long with it as you want.

 

[PlanetMaster]

"Your name and profile link listed under contributions at the bottom of revision section", PlanetMaster not our real name I hope?Just the username?

That's optional. You'll be able to select what appears and what doesn't..

 

[PlanetMaster]

How long should the personal statement be? And should its pattern be the same as the personal statements we send to universities?

There are no rules tied with it. It should be of a decent length though..

 

[PlanetMaster]

Hello, so can all participate for this contest? I have just finished Cambridge IGCSE so can I upload O' Level notes which are relevant to me?

Yes you can.

PlanetMaster As I have sent you the sample, so should I continue making the notes or wait for your reply?

Unfortunately, we can't allow PowerPoint slides due to the nature of our requirements!

Thank you!

You can use as many sources as you need for referencing but copying directly from them may jeopardize your application.

That would be your decision.
Generally applications are processed every week so expect a response within a couple of days..

PlanetMaster - What actually needs to be included in the samples? Is it the whole syllabus and are powerpoint slides allowed?

PlanetMaster lets say i send u my application on the 1 day before the deadline do i still have a good chance of winning a prize in this contest or do my chances decrease?????

 

[extremeranger]

On the basis of you application.

wait so if my application i.e the sample gets selected, then its confirmed that i will get the gift pack as long as i submit the complete notes?
Or will it be compared with notes of other applicants and be ranked according to quality and then the top 10 or whatever chosen?

 

[Ahmed Khider]

PlanetMaster if i use screenshot of past paper questions in my notes so as to solve them as an example is that OK???
