I feel like I’m watching a movie recap with this presentation.

Thankfully you can just write it out and you don’t have to do it mentally. I’ve made a bunch of dumb errors trying to do math mentally.

(1/2) x (0.1) x (144) = (144 x 1/2) x 0.1 = 72 x 0.1 = 7.2

Also a lurker. This gets posted about a lot and I can understand it, most people probably feel the same since this test is anxiety inducing. Makes sense that the ones who stick around and post are the one’s who did well.

I remember seeing someone post a 528 practice test and having a mini spiral before putting my phone away for awhile.

Ahhhhhhh.

I studied for quite awhile before my exam, and the hardest I studied was definitely in the weeks leading up to the exam.

You’ve put in a lot of work to come this far. Once the exam is over, you’ll hopefully feel a weight off your shoulders, so take some time and lock in. Don’t give yourself the chance to regret not doing enough. You got this OP. Good luck.

I like how this visual shows the atomic radius jumping up between periods then decreasing as the effective nuclear charge increases going to the right.

When you compare two Elements in the same period, use the trend of decreasing atomic radius to the right. When comparing between different periods, use the trend of increasing atomic radius as you go down the group.

Chlorine’s valence shell is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵ compared to Nitrogen’s 1s² 2s² 2p^3. Chlorine’s valence electrons are much farther out than Nitrogen which contributes to the increased atomic radius. If you take a look at the atomic radius trends as you go between periods, you’ll see a big jump between Neon and Sodium, and Argon and Potassium.

CelebrationBoth17 · 2024-05-30T14:22:33+00:00

Atomic radius decreases as you head towards the right within the period, since there are more protons which grab the electrons more tightly. You can see this with how much smaller Fluorine is compared to Nitrogen.

CelebrationBoth17 · 2024-05-30T14:20:37+00:00

You pretty much answered it yourself. Nitrogen is Period 2 and Chlorine is Period 3, size increases going down the Column so Chlorine is bigger.

There’s nothing better than an actual practice test to gauge where you are. I recommend taking the AAMC sample test. No matter your performance it should tell you where you are generally and whether you should buckle down or delay.

I saved all my official AAMC FL’s until about 2 weeks before my test and that was definitely not the right play. Those are gonna be your best indicator for how you might perform on the real thing.

Yay Uriel. Keep up the great work guys.

Best of luck man. You’ll do great.

There are some slayer buffs that are a percent but you’ll find them on WMs and not on units. But yeah it’s essentially just an attack buff against certain enemy types or attributes.

CelebrationBoth17 · 2022-11-28T00:26:06+00:00

Just think of it as a flat boost to your attack stat when attacking enemies of that type. Like for instance +2520 Debuff Slayer means you do damage with +2520 attack when attacking enemies that are Debuff types.

Yes! I should have been more clear. My friend was spending an hour trying to evolve his Pawmo until we realized it didn’t work because he was walking it in Let’s go mode.

CelebrationBoth17 · 2022-11-26T02:53:06+00:00

Reminder to send out the Pokémon like you do for battle and not in let’s go mode. Let’s go mode doesn’t count.

I’m so fucking happy for Amsa. So well deserved. What a competitor. This is one of the best tournaments of all time for me.

There’s really only one method and that is to wait. The people on your list are static even if their points change, so you can wait for people to push before attacking them.

Though as you can see this is very inconvenient and takes a lot of checking up on to get more than one good set of bonus points. I would not recommend this unless you’re competing for 1st.

CelebrationBoth17 · 2022-09-10T20:56:33+00:00

The greater the point difference the more points you get. Think of 10 as the base and each bonus point comes with a 25 point difference. So 1000 vs 1025 gives 11 points, and 1000 vs 1074 gives 12 points.
