I am going to disagree. This is NOT cheating.

Schools are supposed to hint what kind of experiments can come in practicals. It's their job. Our school, however, is new to the system and thus don't understand what to tell and what not to. So, they tell us nothing. Meanwhile, in other countries (and I am sure about this), students get the help/hints they need and have already done many related experiments via guessing, etc. We suffer as the threshold is always up there, you know (I did brilliant in my paper 1 and 2, but failed to achieve decent marks in paper 3). In addition, practicals are all about practice, so we need all the practice we need. If we know what apparatuses will be used or just a hint, we can try doing all possible experiments, etc. It's not like we have the question paper or anything. It's like pre-exam preparation, which is essential as we don't really know what to do before a practical.  At least, I don't. lol.

Anyway, if you feel otherwise, please elaborate.

Thanks.

No hints or whatsoever.....Not allowed on this site. if you think your school will tell you, you may well approach them. And if they tell you, i don't see that happening in a good school, but if they do, then that is in itself cheating

You may discuss the possible practicals but not let out a single thing which was on the paper. I hope you understand. These r the rules of our forum. Our member are supposed to abide by it

Thanks

Obviously no one knows what REALLY will come in the exam, not even the school. 99% of schools do hint what apparatuses can come, then us students gather and try to guess what CAN come.

How is that cheating?! >:|
