Which one is more precise, pipette or burette? Bootcamp mentions pipette as more precise, but DAT genius mentions burette as more precise?

When measuring out an EXACT amount, you use a burette.
When transferring OR delivering liquids, you use a pipet since it is portable.
 
burette is for measuring liquids like in ochem lab doing titrations. Pipette is for transferring stuff

I don't know for certain, but during labs, pipet was not an exact way to measure things, we took the scary acids from that big container and put it in our own glass containers using pipets. Then after that either weighed the liquid (but we must have already weighed the round or flask first) or read how many litters there was using burret.
H2So4
have you noticed how much they adored that acid, every freaking lab report included it, when there were much safer labs without it that could be the topic about the lab report. But no! They made sure there was no way we can miss that lab unless we worked with H2So4, it was that or losing 10 points from the lab report.
 
I literally came to post this and saw this ironically. I still don't know which to choose because I selected pipet in Destroyer and got it wrong, then selected buret in Bootcamp and got it wrong :bang:.
 
I think if the question says 'measure' , then burette is more appropriate. If it's for transfer, than pipette would be the right answer.
