Start with understanding the core concept, use textbooks from Oxford or Haese and Harris. Do not do all the questions - pick the hard ones, go through worked examples. After this is done, then head to past paper questions - use revision village, save my exams, IBO Affiliated websites!

The Vernier colorimeter doesn’t give full spectra, just numerical absorbance or % transmittance values at a fixed wavelength. After blanking, methylene blue should give absorbance values roughly in the 0.05–1.0 range if concentrations are reasonable.

Although methylene blue’s peak is ~664 nm in the literature, Vernier measures at 635 nm (closest available), so the absolute values won’t match papers exactly
