hi

Just wondering..... In the GS book... it says R configuration is clockwise direction and S direction is anti clockwise.

Just wondering because i was doing an aamc practice exam today and it told me the opposite on one of the answers.

thanks

R is indeed clockwise as designated in the GS book.

Here is a reference for your interest: www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/sterism3.htm
