    SAT or ACT?

    Hey there, tldr: sat is fking easy and better than ACT. It has a clean and crisp structure with a nice majority of easy questions across the sections. Like Jaysea214 has explained, the SAT test format has been largely altered to become a standardised score out of 1600 instead of 2400 (Please...

    1984 and Metropolis context

    Hi Amina, I high recommend that this aspect of the texts be kept to minimum. Essentially these texts showcase the nature of power wholely and solely as as opposed to being of an substantial feminist work. In fact that's the reason you may not find much on the role of women in either text...

    Tips for doing circle geo?

    Circle geo is my favourite and I usually find them challenging in a good way Ask yourself the following. 1. From the diagram, what is already shown and assumed? 2. Can I draw anything to unlock new theorems? (some q's are a matter of drawing an extra line or a circle etc) 3. From the...

    Post your chemistry mistakes here!

    Some good responses by you guys! Here's another one, I ran out of time for my exam because our stupid school made the test too long. I should have put a half way mark on the paper during reading time so I got a more accurate idea of when to finish it. I only realised halfway but by then, it...

    Chem help

    Have you heard of the 2n^2 rule? It basically sets the following number of electrons to fill each shell: 2:8:18:32 (obviously this rule is not a clear cut distinction but it should do) The only strange metal one I can think of is Potassium. Which is not 2:8:9 but 2:8:8:1 <-- a more stable form...

    Medentry percentiles are ridiculous

    I have done like 3-4 exams with marks ranging 93-96/134 and the percentiles are barely 60%ile. What sort of raw marks are you guys getting and corresponding percentiles? :uhoh:

    UMAT Studying

    I think the reason why some people who study hard for the exam, do badly is because of inflexible thinking. They become used to questions like those from Medentry/Medstart which are arguably very different from the real thing. Thats why I feel like some people who dont prep a lot do better...

    UMAT Studying

    With Section 1, most people find it difficult and so do I. It will certainly be hard when you first start it. However, I find that I have come a long way with doing those kinds of questions. Here is a suggestion! 1. Attempt 10 questions with absolutely no time limits. Solve them however you...

    Year 11 into year 12 questions

    He should definetly keep advanced english for the moment as it scales significantly better than standard, however by no means should someone do subjects for the scaling! because it is more flexible to keep higher units (in the case you need to drop them) rather than drop to lower units (as you...
