Have you graduated from high school/college yet?

  1. Yes, and now I'm somewhat free from taking finals!

  2. Nope; I'm also taking finals just like you.

    So, I'm not sure how many people on here have already graduated high school or are still enrolled, but I, for one, am a freshman in high school, and I'm nervous about my upcoming finals at school. Any study tips that can save me and my grades from stooping below B+ before the semester ends?

    BTW, I guess this could become a HW help thread if you ever need to study for finals. I need help on remembering formulas for conics. Is anyone good at this?

    study tips- quizlet. also if you are studying with friends, quizlet live is a fun, good method. If you have quizlet, search me up Scott_Hellier and I have some good bio quizlets that I wouldn't mind you using (you said in your bio that you take bio *lol* @James Hoang).

    So, I am also a freshman, and I struggle with the relationship between water and other solutions passing through a membrane in regards to diffusion.

    What part of diffusion do you not get? I can try to see if I have anything useful on diffusion.

    when there is membrane in the middle of two solutions and the membrane is selectively permeable to water and one solution is hypotonic (with water and another substance) and the other hypotonic (with water and less of the other substance), how does the water diffuse?

    If there is less concentration outside, of something like salt, the salt within the membrane will pass through the membrane until it is the same concentration as the outside.

    those are just the basics, hope it helps @Carlos Habbenero

    well, the membrane doesn't allow salt to pass through, only water.

    you're welcome. Sorry I got it wrong at first, I was thinking general diffusion, not osmosis across a membrane. But I'm glad I could help, and that I still know it from taking bio two years ago haha! (I had a good teacher) @Carlos Habbenero

    Hey, make sure you get plenty of rest, and take a break from studying for a few minutes every 30mins-1 hour. Studies have shown that pounding information in your head without proper rest will prevent you from retaining information or using critical thinking. Procrastination can make you productive at the last second, but planning your study schedule ahead of time will help prevent last minute test anxiety. Remember the P’s - Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
