I'm in 9th standard and I want to do MBBS in future. How should I prepare for it so that I am accepted?

MBBS is the basic medicine degree in India and a number of other countries. The term MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. Admission to medical colleges offering MBBS degrees is done through entrance examinations. Such examination is based on questions from physics, chemistry and biology. The questions are multiple choice type (also known as MCQs). 


Preparation for such entrance examinations ideally starts in 11th grade. It is good to know that you have already decided to start your preparations in 9th grade and hence will have the upper-hand over many applicants. The best (and the most obvious) suggestion would be to spend more time on science subjects. This can be done in one of the two ways: you can prepare yourself and use some of the textbooks and help books available for science or you can get enrolled into a number of coaching institutes for the same. The coaching institutes (such as Aakash, Allen, Bansal institute, etc.) specialize in training students specifically for these examinations. Many students prepare themselves and do really well in entrance examinations. 


Ultimately, whether you study on your own or through coaching institutes, you will have to spend a large fraction of your time in preparation. Practice of multiple choice questions is also suggested. An important aspect of preparation is continuous revision. Ideally, one should revise every week or every other week. You can also use online tests (available on various blogs and forums) for practice. I would suggest simulating the test conditions and taking such tests. This would mean that you will be undisturbed for the duration of test.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

A man has a garden measuring 84 meters by 56 meters. He divides it into the minimum number of square plots. What is the length of the square plots?

We wish to divide this man's garden into the minimum number of square plots possible. A square has all four sides with the same length.Our garden is a rectangle, so the answer is clearly not 1 square plot. If we choose the wrong length for our squares, we may end up with missing holes or we may not be able to fit our squares inside the garden. So we have 84 meters in one direction and 56 meters in the other direction. When we start dividing the garden in square plots, we are "filling" those lengths in their respective directions. At each direction, there must be an integer number of squares (otherwise, we get holes or we leave the garden), so that all the square plots fill up the garden nicely. Thus, our job here is to find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 56. For this, we prime factor both of them: `56 = 2*2*2*7` `84 = 2*2*3*7` We can see that the prime factors and multiplicities in common are `2*2*7 = 28` . This is the desired length of the square plots. If you wi...

What warning does Chuchundra issue to Rikki?

Chuchundra, the sniveling, fearful muskrat who creeps around walls because he is too terrified to go into the center of a room, meets Rikki in the middle of the night. He insults Rikki by begging him not to kill him. He then insults him by suggesting that Nag might mistake Chuchundra for Rikki. He says, "Those who kill snakes get killed by snakes."  He issues this warning to Rikki not to help keep Rikki safe but as a way of explaining why Rikki's presence gives him, Chuchundra, more reason to fear.  Chuchundra starts to tell Rikki what Chua the rat told him--but breaks it off when he realizes he might be overheard by Nag. He says, "Nag is everywhere, Rikki-Tikki." Rikki threatens to bite Chuchundra to get him to talk. Even then, Chuchundra won't overtly reveal any information. But he does say, "Can't you hear, Rikki-Tikki?" This is enough of a clue for the clever mongoose. He listens carefully and can just make out the "faintest scratch-s...
