What Is a Subshell in Chemistry?

What Is a Subshell in Chemistry?What is a subshell in Chemistry? Well, if you're wondering what a subshell is, it's the pocketed portion of a compound that is an entirely different chemical form from the original. The two commonly used subshells are polysaccharides and amino acids. Polysaccharides consist of polysaccharides chains with a single sugar unit in the middle while amino acids consist of a chain of amino groups that is usually branched.Polysaccharides are formed by the reaction of sugars with the application of heat. In the simplest case, the conversion of sugar to starch occurs under the influence of heat. A single molecule of starch is then broken into smaller sugar units, which are then combined to make molecules of polysaccharides. There are two main reactions that will be made: (1) the incorporation of a carbide ion with a carbon atom from one end of the chain to the other, and (2) the addition of two hydrogen atoms from one end of the chain to the other.Carbide is ano ther name for carbonyl ion, which is actually a group of hydrogen atoms linked by carbons in a chain. In some compounds, an ion is associated with the electrons in a sodium molecule, where this is called an anion. The purpose of the chain is to create stable chemical bonds. In the above case, the hydrogen atoms will form what is called a covalent bond, where the electrons from a sodium atom are locked into the carbon atom of a phosphate group, which is then attached to the end of the chain, where they are allowed to move to the nitrogen atom of a second sugar molecule, making a solid polymer chain.The amino acid chains will be different because there are five pairs of amino groups in a protein chain. Two of the amino groups will be phosphates and their function is to form polysaccharides. There are seven additional pairs of amino groups, which are known as trimer groups, and are essential to the proper functioning of the protein. The six pairs of amino groups are responsible for for ming short polysaccharides and long polysaccharides, which are produced by the enzyme arginase.Amino acids are sometimes abbreviated by the acronym P.A. The former is an amide, while the latter is an amino group.One of the most common functions of polysaccharides is as binding substances. They are used to reduce the swelling of tissue in the blood vessel walls, and they also play a role in a number of functions in the body. It is important to understand that, even though they are created by heat, they retain their structure when heated.On the other hand, amino acids have a more important role in the body. They form proteins and are important to both children and adults.

How You Can Make an Impact this Memorial Day

How You Can Make an Impact this Memorial Day Its celebrated every year, but do you know the history behind Memorial Day? Once called Decoration Day, this date holds an important history. In order to make an impact this Memorial Day, learn the history behind this holiday and find ways to get involved in your community, such as volunteering with veterans or donating goods. The history behind Memorial Day The origins of Memorial Day date back to the late 1860s. The Civil War, a conflict whose death toll was unprecedented at that time, necessitated the creation of national cemeteries. After the war ended, Americans would leave flowers at the graves of soldiers who had died in battle. It became an unofficial tradition for certain towns to commemorate fallen soldiers through special tributes in the spring. General John A. Logan used the term Decoration Day to describe a national day that he believed was necessary to remember lives lost during the Civil War. General Logan proposed the date of May 30, and Memorial Day was honored on this date for years. In 1966, the U.S. government declared Waterloo, New York as the holidays birthplace. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which declared Memorial Day as an official federal holiday and moved its spot to the last Monday in May. Although Memorial Day was originally meant to honor fallen soldiers from the Civil War, it has since evolved to honor service members lost during any military conflict. [RELATED: Memorial Day Activities for Families] How to commemorate Memorial Day year-round Though Memorial Day is typically celebrated with barbecues by American families, it is, in fact, one of the most somber of American holidays. There are countless ways to give back in recognition of the American lives that have been lost in battle. Memorial Day awareness need not be limited to one day of the year. Here are some ways you can get involved year-round: Volunteer at a homeless shelter U.S. veterans account for an estimated 23 percent of the homeless population, or about 131,000 people in total. By working at a homeless shelterwhether through preparing or serving food, cleaning, or interacting with peopleyoure likely to make a difference in the lives of former military servicemen and women.

Volunteer with Heart Amelia McGriff-Henderson - Heart Math Tutoring Volunteer with Heart: Amelia McGriff-Henderson Volunteer with Heart: Amelia McGriff-Henderson April 15, 2016 Amelia McGriff-Henderson, Executive Producer at WCCB Charlotte, believes Heart students not only learn essential math skills but gain from weekly mentorship. She learned about Heart through Hands on Charlotte and has worked with the program for three years. Currently, Amelia works with a first and a second grader at Winterfield Elementary School. What was your favorite moment from working  with students? One of my students looked up at me and smiled when I told her she was ready to move on into a new curriculum notebook.   She said: Im the smartest person in the world because of you Ms. Amelia. Im even smarter than you now.' What is one thing you and your students  have in common? My students and I love pink, purple and EVERYTHING girly. What would you tell someone who is  thinking about becoming a volunteer? Heart is only an hour  commitment, but in that small time frame you have a huge impact with the kids in the classroom and socially. Why did you become a tutor? My faith leads me to believe we should be active participants in the world around us. The world would be a better place if we all looked outside of ourselves and helped our fellow brothers and sisters. Both of Amelia’s students have made great progress this year. Amelia’s 1st grade student started the year learning to count accurately, and she is now learning to add and subtract up to 20  â€" grade level material! She loves reviewing her progress with Amelia every Thursday when she comes to tutoring. Her students love how glamorous Amelia looks when she comes from work in a dress and heels. Heart is so thankful to have had Amelia as a tutor  for three years!

6 Things to Know Before Taking an Online Course

6 Things to Know Before Taking an Online Course Image via Pexels Be Sure to Evaluate Your Schedule   One factor that is weighed heavily by students who take courses online is their schedule. When thinking about taking classes online and when to do so, evaluating your schedule is important. Are you balancing school, a job, and extracurriculars? Do your current home/work circumstances  require you to be away from campus more frequently? These are important questions to ask yourself, as they will help you decide whether or not to take online classes and  when  to take them. If you are away from campus and need more freedom when it comes to classes, online courses may be the best option for you. The convenience of taking online classes is that you  don’t  have to make the trip to campus, you can learn right from the comfort of your own home. 6 Things to Know Before Taking an Online Course   Image made via Canva.com 1. Distractions Can Be a Struggle:  Because the online instructional method is different than being in a classroom, your obligations and priorities are different. You are more vulnerable to distractions because of the mere fact that your class is online and requires you to be on a browser. Unfortunately, there are many distractions that can be super tempting when you’re working on schoolwork for your online course, such as engaging in social media, texting, listening to music, and watching TV. To help  minimize distractions, set yourself a timer for 10-15 minutes, indulge in your Twitter feed or texting your s/o, then get back to work. Once you set a time limit for yourself, you’ll not only feel better after your break but you’ll also be able to jump right back into work. 2. Attendance is Important: Part of the reason why online classes are so great is due to the fact that attendance is not as strict and rigid as regular classroom attendance. In contrast to the traditional classroom method, most online courses do not typically hold attendance. Instead, credit is given in the form of either weekly quizzes, discussions, or assignments. Some online courses, depending on which kind you choose, can hold sessions weekly at a specific time, which in that case, attendance would be mandatory in order for you to engage effectively in the course. Regardless of the online course you select, you are in control, which means you can decide whether you want a more open course or rigid one with exact times. Just remember to take attendance seriously, because your online course is just as serious as your traditional classroom one. 3. The Routine of Your Teacher/Course Can Differ:  Not all teachers run their courses the same way, and when it comes to online courses, you will find that some teachers hold virtual meetings while others encourage discussion board participation. Evaluating these differences is important when it comes to your learning style because you can distinguish which kind of approach works best for you and which ones don’t come as easy. Because of the nature of online courses, teachers and professors have to be mainly available through email or some other form of contact, which allows for you to get in touch with them at any time to voice any questions or concerns you have about your learning pace or your progress in the course. Being in contact with your professor in an online course is especially important since they aren’t physically there all the time to notice if you are struggling and/or what you are struggling with. 4. You Can Still Take Risks/Have Fun:  College is not solely about working hard and getting the greatest grades, it’s also about expanding your knowledge, ideas, and perceptions of things you otherwise wouldn’t have known about. With that being said, when reviewing what classes you want to take, take some risks and have fun! If you can take a film course or art course that fulfills one of your requirements, go for it! In my junior year, I took a course that was about the science in science fiction films! It was so much fun- we got to watch a lot of cool movies, all while learning some interesting things about science, and it was online! While in college, you’ll have so many opportunities to learn and engage in fun ways, so don’t hesitate to explore fun courses when looking for online classes. You won’t regret it! 5. You Spend Plenty of Hours Online:  Just like a regular classroom course, an  online course  requires hours of invested time. For example, almost all online courses have some form of classroom engagement, whether that is through a voice-thread post or discussion board entry. Discussions allow you to share your knowledge of the topics and lessons of the week as well as bring forward any questions you wish to ask fellow students. In most cases, instructors will ask a prompt and require you to answer the prompt based on the knowledge of the lessons given that week. Following your response, instructors typically request that you respond to another student’s answer to the prompt with either an agreement, disagreement, or another question.   In addition to discussion posts, Stephanie Larson of US News  states  that your teacher may require you to watch/listen to lectures, participate in group projects and complete other assignments such as a quiz, homework exercise, or exam. 6. Credit Transfers Are Sometimes Tricky: One very important thing that many students forget to take into consideration when looking into online classes is whether or not the credits will transfer to their institution. Now, this is only the case if you were taking a course(s) at a different school than your main, however, it is still knowledge that all students should know. Perhaps you’re taking a course over the summer to lessen the number of credits you take in the fall, or maybe you need an easy course to take to fulfill certain criteria in your major â€" regardless, connect with an academic advisor before enrolling to make sure that the credits transfer correctly and how you expect them to. You don’t want to waste time or money on a course that doesn’t count toward anything! Myths and Misconceptions   Online Courses are Easy: One of the common myths that people assume about online classes is that they are easy by nature. This is a complete myth! Online courses have the same curriculum as any course taken in a classroom, the teaching method is all that is different- and by that I mean, it’s merely taught online. In fact, online courses can sometimes pose more of a difficulty than traditional classroom teaching because students have more responsibility,  says  Lynn Atanasoff, a career counselor at Penn State University. “At reputable institutions, students have to complete the same material as in-person, except they also have to really manage their time because online no one is reminding them when assignments or projects are due,” she says. The Quality of Education is Lower: Just because the course is online, does not mean that the quality of education is lower. The course itself has undergone some sort of process or evaluation by your university to ensure it meets specific standards and adheres to the set curriculum of the course. Online courses and instructors do not just get made up out of the blue and put onto your registration choice list, there’s a process. Jeff Davidson, a strategic initiatives manager of the Free Education Initiative at the Saylor Foundation  comments, “I don’t think there’s any weight to the belief that quality suffers in online education any more so than with a lot of brick-and-mortars. We know brick-and-mortar degrees vary in quality, and that’s the same with online.” There is Zero Interaction with Instructors or Classmates: Another assumption about online classes is that because it’s completely virtual, there is zero interaction with your instructors or classmates. While in some cases there isn’t a  physical  interaction like in a traditional classroom, teachers and students are available through other outlets like phone, email, etc. Teachers are even sometimes more available through online avenues than other ways! You Have to Teach Yourself the Course Material: Because the teaching method is different, another myth is that you have to teach yourself the material of the course. This goes hand-in-hand with the quality of education being lower and zero interaction with instructors. This myth isn’t true at all! Online courses are no different than traditional ones, where there are assignments, quizzes, readings, projects, etc. The teacher creates outlines and presentations to help just as much as a teacher in-classroom would. From my experience, I’ve had some traditional classroom courses that I’ve had to teach myself more than any online course I’ve taken! Cheating is Common: It’s obvious to think that because online courses are all on the internet, that it’s almost a given that students will cheat and automatically get away with it. This is not the case! It is no easier to cheat on online courses than in a traditional course. In fact, it can be a little bit harder! Teachers typically have a plagiarism section software to see whether or not a student has cheated on an essay assignment. Additionally, Terri Williams of U.S. News  writes, “In addition to plagiarism detection software, some online programs require students to take a test at a physical location or to use a webcam while completing an exam. In both cases, students need to show proof of identification.” Image via Pexels Deciding what classes to take online and even if you want to take them can be difficult without the proper help or resources. If you are considering taking courses online, reach out to an advisor and review your requirements, as well as read student reviews to help you decide, but don’t forget to have fun too! Always remember that taking courses online does not make you any less of a student or whatever other criticism you may have heard before. Everyone has different wants and needs, and online courses can be a great option to balance your classes and college life!

Chocolate Good Or Bad For Health

Chocolate Good Or Bad For Health Photo Via: https://ringlead-marketing-prod.s3.amazonaws.com Ah yes, the decadent, sweet treat that makes our mouths water. We’ve come to understand that our sweet tooth does us more harm than good, but we don’t really care either, especially when it comes to chocolate. In the words of almost every human being ever: it’s worth it. Well, science is now pointing in this direction more than ever. As has been revealed before, chocolate could actually lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, control your blood sugar and even help to lower your stress levels, which are all good, positive reasons to eat the sugary treat. This healthy spin on chocolate continues in that it has even been linked to reduce the risk of cancer and dementia, two ailments no human being wants to be diagnosed with. According to Dr. Owais Khawaja, a cardiology fellow at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center (Toledo, Ohio), “Chocolate is a good antioxidant, it has a good effect on inflammation. We think most of the beneficial effects are because of this.” While this is certainly good news in many ways, this does not mean that every chocolate treat you come across is going to be good for your health. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory aspects of chocolate come from cocoa beans specifically nutrients within cocoa beans called flavonoids. These flavonoids are found in all chocolate, but in varying amounts. For instance, dark chocolate has more than milk chocolate. And though the name may fool you, white chocolate doesn’t even contain chocolate, meaning it wouldn’t be a good source of flavonoids. But, to break it down even further, not all dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids either. In fact, some chocolate bars that are over 70 percent cocoa (which would be considered dark chocolate, in most cases), will have less flavonoid compounds than others it all depends on processing. This is where it gets really sciency: if chocolate goes through dutching (a chemical step that’s often referred to as Dutch chocolate), this chocolate has basically lost all traces of flavonoid compounds. Also, most chocolate bars include the addition of milk and sugar; in other words, the parts that make it taste good. However, these additions are also what makes the chocolate bar bad for you. So while theoretically chocolate is a very good thing, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Snickers and Kit Kat bars are a healthier alternative than fruits and vegetables. The truth is, there still isn’t enough research pointing one way or the other: we don’t know the effects of consuming the various types of chocolate, or what the addition of milk does to the healthy components. According to Khawaja, “There is not enough data as to what form of chocolate is good.” While studies are able to differentiate between participants that eat milk, dark and white chocolate, they are unable to test which kinds of these various chocolates the participants are consuming. Plus, more often than not, participants aren’t correctly identifying the type of chocolate they’re eating or accurately representing the amount that they are eating. The consensus, though it’s in no way scientifically proven, is that dark chocolate is probably good. Or, it’s not bad. As Khawaja said, “Until we have more data, don’t eat too much. If you’re having a serving once or twice a day, fine. But don’t start having it six times a day.” So while chocolate is a good snack on very rare occasions, maybe to satisfy cravings or to reward yourself after a stressful week, it is in no way something that should be replacing your healthier foods. Don’t go changing your diet because chocolate may or may not be healthy. Instead, indulge yourself on occasion, assume that the studies aren’t correct, and hope for the best somewhere in the near future. We love you chocolate, whether you’re good or bad for us, and we’ll keep our fingers crossed until the next study takes over the media.

E-learning Is it a classroom substitute - ALOHA Mind Math

E-learning Is it a classroom substitute As parents of young children, we are always on the lookout for interesting ways to teach our children new concepts in language or math. It is no surprise that e-learning forms a significant part in the teaching process at most homes. Just searching for terms like “e-learning” and “children” on the Internet gives a host of options to choose from, and parents can pick any of these kids games or educational websites as fun ways to teach children. E-learning for kids can be a great way of finding new information, and forms a great addition for what is learnt at school. But it can never be a complete substitute for learning in a classroom, as there are so many other aspects such as personal interactions with a teacher and with a peer group that cannot be a part of such an experience. With the abundance of educational websites and e-learning tools such as tablets and laptops being easily accessible to children, there is a chance that the child may feel it is better than a classroom in some ways. It is up to us as parents to make them understand that it is necessary to limit time spent on gadgets, and to get the benefits of other sources of education too. For younger children, parents can find kids learning websites that have learning games related to the child’s school curriculum. As children get more comfortable with using gadgets themselves they may know to look around and find interesting websites themselves. Especially in the case of playing games on gadgets like the iPad or a smartphone, this learning curve is very short and parents can take advantage of this by loading a lot of educational games on these gadgets. A related aspect of children spending time on online learning is to do with some amount of parental control and policing that is always necessary, and to not leave them completely unsupervised, especially in the case of younger children. Where older children are concerned, some parental control tools might be required. It is important that we keep children in touch with conventional methods of learning by using physical tools and not just online ones. One great way of introducing children to educational games is teaching them to use the abacus for math learning. Please see our website for more details: http://www.aloha-usa.com

5 Top Online Resources for Practicing Languages to Fluency

5 Top Online Resources for Practicing Languages to Fluency 5 Top Online Resources for Practicing Languages to Fluency The internet has truly revolutionized language learning.I remember what it was like back in the day, when the Web was home to only a few amateur sites that claimed to teach various languages.I was at the mercy of  what my library chose to order or what the local bookstore happened to have in stock.Audio? Inconvenient.Video? Impossible.Actually speaking  with native speakers online? Unheard of!But today?Were able to practically take all these things for granted.So let us take a moment of silence to be grateful for the modern internet.With today’s veritable gold mine of target language media,  online courses  and other learning tools, there’s no reason not to excel at your chosen language.You can immerse yourself completely, so that you’re only interacting in your target language. It’s beautiful!But how exactly do you go about maximizing this wonderful modern world in which we live?Keep reading, because Im going to share the very best resources and tips with you! 5 Top Online Resources for Practicing Languages to FluencyOnline Conversation Sites for Speaking PracticeSpeaking is really what we think of when we consider fluency in a particular language. It’s communication! It’s impressive! It’s… intimidating?Sure. Whether you seek out speaking practice when you have only a few words under your belt (à la Benny Lewis from Fluent in 3 Months), or whether you decide to talk after a lengthy silent period, talking to a native speaker for the first time can be a scary prospect.That’s why conversation exchanges are one of the best ways to practice languages. You can find a partner on a site like italki. Someone who is in the throes of learning your native language from scratch. The mutual understanding works wonders and makes you both comfortable with baring it all in your stumbling first attempts at your respective target languages. The practice will make you all the more confident when you travel to the country or have to speak with a native speaker who doesn’t know about your language learning journey!And, on a side note, italki is the perfect platform for finding a paid language tutor if youre looking to invest a little more. A professional tutor can give you tons of feedback on your conversation skills.What to Do with Your Language ExchangeWhen you first seek out a language learning partner on any of the above sites (or all of themâ€"the more the merrier!), use the advanced search features so you have a higher chance of being able to relate to the personâ€"because you’ll actually need things to talk about. Consider gender, family status, age, hobbiesâ€"things you can find on their profile that might indicate you two have something in common to talk about. Believe meâ€"a conversation in which your only commonality is learning languages… well, it’s boring at best, and tedious at worst. Choose well, but rememberâ€"you can always call it off if things aren’t working out. Dont hesitate to try someone new!You’ll then meet up on Skype or Google Hangout. During the first couple sessions, I recommend simply getting to know one another. Talk about yourself, and ask them questions about themselves. Then, as you dive deeper, ask for constant corrections, as folks can be polite and overlook some errors. Constant corrections can be annoying, but your language skills will soar.After your sessions, SRS those corrections so you remember them until your dying day. Ask lots of questions, but remember that grammar points might not be the easiest things for your partner to discuss, so entrenched are they in their own native language. Ask for resource ideas like movies, books, comics and TV shows. Share jokes with each other to acquire a new sense of humor. With luck, you’ll build a real relationship and maybe make a new friend in the process!FluentU for Personalized Media-based Learning at Any LevelAre you not ready to dive into the conversational suggestions in this post? Or maybe you’d love to get into L 2 immersion, but you have some concerns, or the vast sea of the internet seems too big to find something you might like.FluentU can help you out.FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

And it’s a great option for accessing the world of native media.Chat Rooms (and Games) for Writing and Communication PracticeHa! You thought chat rooms didn’t exist anymore, didn’t you?Well, you’re dead wrong on that. Chat rooms may very well be a relic of the early 2000s, but they’re still alive and well in certain corners of the internet, albeit a little tougher to find. And you can find them in your target language!I personally love chat rooms because text chatting with strangers gives you real time language practice if you’re not quite ready to take on speaking just yet.How do you track down these ancient beasts? Search for forums (in your target language) about one of your interests, whether it’s gam es, gardening, politics, crafts, whatever. Many forums have a chat room! For example, heres a Pokémon chat room in French, a Spanish-language Star Wars/table top gaming chat  and a French math and science chat. Itll take some hunting, but you can get good results by translating chat room into your L2, and Googling that along with your hobby/interest of choice.If forums aren’t your style, many online multiplayer games have that same real-time text that we’re after. Think World of Warcraft or League of Legends. You jump right in, and players converse in real time. All you have to do is start up the game in your target language, and many of these games have tons of different language options. Games are also great because they can be more active and easier to find than forums.What to Do with Chat RoomsWhat do you do once you’ve found a chat room or game? I recommend eavesdropping at first. Watch others’ conversations. What are they saying? How are they saying it? Take note of n ew vocab and slang, and SRS those so you remember them later. Then, when you’re ready, try answering in short, easy phrases. Stick to things you knowâ€"don’t attempt to express complicated ideas if your vocabulary is limited to that of a first-year textbook. But be patient, and you’ll slowly improve.Considering these places are not learning sites, rest assured that mistakes may be met with laughter and teasing. Just dust yourself off when the inevitable embarrassment hits you. On the bright side, you’ll remember not to repeat those mistakes!Twitter for Additional Immersion and ExposureWe all know that changing default languages is a great way to immerse and practice a new language. If you’re studying a new language, you should already have changed the language of your phone, your email client, your Web browser, even your OS!So, why is Twitter any different?Twitter is unique in that when you change the default language, you’re not just seeing the options and onscreen word s translated. Instead, you’ll default to seeing tweets from target language sources! You’ll be constantly learning new online slang and abbreviationsâ€"lots of snippets of natural language.What to Do with TwitterHow do you go about changing your default? If your browser is in your L1 (or a different language), simply click on your little profile pic in the upper right corner of the page. Go to Settings, and then the language option is the first one down. And if you dont have an account and your browser is already in your target language, your Twitter will default to your target language when you sign up.Now what? Check those trending hashtags on the left-hand side of your home page! Most tweets  will probably be in your L2, so get in that reading practice. (If theyre not in your L2, its probably because you already follow English-language accounts, and the algorithm is trying to cater to youâ€"just change the location setting by clicking Change next to Trending and you should ge t better content.)You can also look for topics of interest in the search bar to find people talking about your favorite hobbies. The short format makes reading easier for those of us that shy away from novels or even blogs.

What Does a Laboratory Test Stand For?

What Does a Laboratory Test Stand For?In any course of study, it is important to understand what a laboratory test means. Laboratory tests are so important for every student, because it helps them understand and improve their skills. It is important to remember that the purpose of a laboratory test is to help you comprehend the basic knowledge on how chemicals react and why. When you know the basic principles of chemistry and chemical reactions, it is easier for you to deal with a variety of problems and solutions that are more complex.One of the most important parts of a laboratory test is the correct reaction. With proper understanding of reactions, a student will be able to understand what a reaction is all about. The proper reaction of a chemical means the reaction that results in the creation of an excess or lack of a certain substance. For example, if you were to combine hydrogen and oxygen together, you would end up with water. Similarly, if you were to mix hydrochloric acid a nd sulfuric acid together, you would end up with sulfuric acid.What students need to do when they are about to take a test in chemistry is to analyze the answers that they have come up with. They must realize that there are different types of reactions and it will be very important for them to determine which one their answers are connected to. As an example, if they mix sodium and potassium together, this is a negative reaction. In the same vein, mixing two substances together will mean that one substance is being added to the other. When a student understands this, they will be able to take action accordingly.The best part about taking a chemistry test is that it only takes a short period of time. Even if you take it once a week, you will still have plenty of opportunities to practice your answers. Students can find help in the class section for solving the test questions. As long as you take the right action, you should get the required grade. On the other hand, if you do not ans wer the right question correctly, you will find yourself having to re-take the test in the future. This means that you will have to spend more money to go to class as well as spend time sitting in the library to finish the question.You might be wondering how to prepare for a question since you will only have 15 minutes to answer it. To prepare, the first thing you should do is to know the answers to all the questions and then choose the most appropriate one.While it might sound like a good idea to just take a test that has a high cut off point, you should not do so. By doing so, you will get bad marks on your report and it might also hurt your grade. There are better ways to save money and time and you should not do so just because you think that it is a good idea.
