Thank you so much for this video. It's so incredibly helpful and I learned more from this in just 5 minutes than I did from an entire lesson of work.

Hi Cognito, you are amazing! I really understand everything that you teach in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Truly a gem! I was wondering whether you are going to do videos on A level content, for example A level Biology, Chemistry and Maths.

Just cleared all of my doubts. Thank you all who made this video.
