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.

etymology - Origin of the greeting "Sweet dreams".

Does anybody know the etymology of the phrase "sweet dreams"? I tried googling but did not find anything satisfying. Is this a relatively new phrase of the modern world or has this been in use for some time? I think it's the latter one. Answer The OED has the interjection as "a farewell to someone going to bed" from the 20th century: 1908 Sears Roebuck Catal. 198/1 Tenor Solos..Good Bye, Sweet Dreams, Good Bye. But it goes back until at least the 19th and possibly 18th centuries. John Wolcot, writing under the pseudonym of Peter Pindar, used it in his poem "Orson and Ellen; A Legendary Tale" published in 1801: Also from 1801 in The infernal Quixote (Page 287) by Charles Lucas: In the March 1776 of The Universal Magazine was published "The Serenade. A Pastoral Tale. From the German of Gesner" , where the shepherd Daphnis watches over his beloved as she sleeps and sings: The same tale appears in 1776's as Idyl XI, " Daphnis ...

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 ...

What are the similarities between the relationships of the characters in The Outsiders and Romeo and Juliet?

At first glance, it might appear as if the characters in  The Outsiders  by S. E. Hinton and  Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare do not have much in common; however, when one isolates the core of the conflicts, it becomes clear that the relationships in both stories are rooted in rivalry and secrecy.  In both  The Outsiders  and  Romeo and Juliet , an overarching theme is rivalry. While   socioeconomic status separates the greasers from the Socs in The Outsiders , last names separates the Montagues from the Capulets, who appear to be relatively equal in terms of socioeconomic status. Due to these rivalries, there are instances of deadly interactions in both stories. In  The Outsiders , Johnny kills Bob (whether his actions were justified or not is debatable). In  Romeo and Juliet , Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris, and Tybalt kills Mercutio. These deaths have profound effects on the main characters. In Ponyboy's case, the Johnny's death and other events in the novel inspire h...
