Potions and Poisons B
Re: Potions and Poisons B
Anyone have a P&P test that you could share? All of our invitationals returned only our answer sheets without the questions, which is completely worthless...
Thanks

Nobody told me we had to split the portions!!!!!! Are you sure about this? I would much rather work with my partner for both...drcubbin wrote:AgreedPotatoBoi wrote:I believe this was not the intended way for the event to be run.

I have never had students do this, has anyone else done this - and why?

Re: Potions and Poisons B
Yiu din’t have to split it; you can work with your partner on both parts, but some people like to split it so that they can finish both the test and the lab.viscamander wrote:Nobody told me we had to split the portions!!!!!!

Re: Potions and Poisons B
Yea, that is generally the approach. Our regional was encouraging us to not split it, and I am relatively sure that the ES was triggered at me for doing the lab instead of doing the test w/my partner, even though he finished it in a couple of minutes given the test quality wasn't exactly the best.drcubbin wrote:AgreedPotatoBoi wrote:I believe this was not the intended way for the event to be run.

Re: Potions and Poisons B
I am not sure why there would even be a question of "split" or "don't split". Either choice in no way invalidates the results and (having taking tests with partners for what seems hundreds of years!) sometime you might need to work together and other times one partner's skill sets rises above so far, they do not need the other person so they are free to work on the other half.shrewdPanther46 wrote:Yea, that is generally the approach.

Re: Potions and Poisons B
Does anyone have any advice on what to fill up the 5 front and back ref sheets with? As of right now, I've only got 3 and 1/2 out of the 10 allowed. Most of my info is about the household chemicals and toxic spills because the I couldn't really find anything to elaborate heavily on the other topics. I have a whole page of pics of the toxic plants and animals and another page of pics of spills, graphs, bonds, etc
Thanks!
Thanks!
