Is that for your school or in general?

What about just memorising generic sentences, or even just phrases? You could then arrange them to suit the question, changing a few words here and there, so you could have the benefits of memorising (ie having smart-sounding sentences) while also having the benefits of not memorising (ie...

Physics has taken a turn for the better, now that we have a new teacher :D

Or maybe your school has a calendar of important events? - sometimes schools put exam periods in...

If you gave everyone a piece of brightly coloured paper and said they could only write on that sheet during the perusal time, then you could just have the examiners standing at strategic places and looking at the colours of papers students were writing on, and if they started writing on white...

Haha, that's what I thought, so I didn't put it in :( They wanted a bibliography because we had to teach ourselves a topic, so they wanted us to prove that the sites/books we learned from were decent or something. It was apparently for "justification" or something. Oh well...

I'll have to start doing the same thing then :D or in my case, actually make up a bibliography from all the websites I wrote down...

I got a mark, rank and VHA10 taken away from me for something as well. I didn't attach a bibliography. In a maths assignment. So I feel you both.

I thought you were supposed to only use third person/past tense in experiment write-ups? Off-topic, but one of my science teachers was telling us about her PhD the other day. Apparently in the whole thing (ie 100 000 words or so) her conclusion was only one paragraph long :D

Nah, that's alright. I still think it's cool that every single new page in this thread starts with one of my posts :D

Damn, and after all those posts I made in this thread...

Based on what I've seen: 1. Taking control of your own learning. That is, if there is something you don't understand, do something about as soon as you realise. Go to another textbook, ask friends/teachers/parents to explain, do extra homework until you understand it. Don't just wait for...

All hail wikipedia.

Obviously a lot of people tied...

And do it for fun.

Since Aplus isn't doing the honours, I'll take his place for now :D Welcome to BOS. Also, I *really* know what you mean about Biology :burn:

Pretty much, yeah.

Oops about Avagadro's constant. Thanks :D I'm pretty sure the formula units thing is right though. They'd have asked for number of atoms if they wanted that, surely?

n = no of rep. particles/ NA (n = number of moles, NA = Avagadro's number, rep. particles in this case being formula units) 7.5 = x/NA x = 7.5 x 6.02x10-23 = some number I think? I hope? Chemistry exam on Wednesday, on the same topic...

My major study 'method' is making sure I understand something inside out before moving on. How I do that depends on the subject and topic, I guess. For maths and physics, it's do lots of questions, and try to derive the equations so they get fixed in my mind For biol and chem, it's write...
