Complete Test Chamber 10 in 70 seconds
This can be done easily enough, but will take some practice to nail down in under 70 seconds. Give it a few tries to get your pattern down and then make your run for it.If you did it with enough time remaining, when you drop the cube to open the exit, the achievement/trophy will pop. If you are using the chapter select to get to the chamber and you miss doing it in under 70 seconds, kill yourself using the laser and try again.

Break the rules in Test Chamber 07
In Chapter 2, test chamber 7; the cube you need to use to exit is a weighted companion cube. Once you head through the exit, you are told not to remove anything from the chamber. So what is a good rebel to so? Remove something of course.Place a portal just outside the exit and then take the cube to the bottom and go through a portal to take the cube with you out of the chamber.
Pturretdactyl

Bronze Trophy
Use an Aerial Faith Plate to launch a turret
The third achievement/trophy you can get in Chapter 2, chamber 6 requires you to nab the turret that gets released in the trash pile.The turret acts differently and more random as it goes through the portals so sometimes it will make it out and sometimes it will head right for the water.When you get the turret to land on solid ground, grab it and take it back to the beginning of the chamber. Drop it on the kicker- or the faith plate as they are called- and the reward is yours.

Stand in a defective turret detector
In Chapter 5, once you reach the turret control room, you will need to remove the turret from the template scanner. Place a portal in the room that Wheatley breaks the glass on and another outside the room to gain access. Enter and then step into the scanner and allow it to scan you.Once it does, you will receive this.
Schrodinger's Catch
20 Points
Bronze Trophy
Catch a blue-painted box before it touches the ground
In Chapter 6, you will come to a test chamber that has a glass case in the center of the room with a box inside it. To get this, you need to drop the propulsion gel on the box so it bounces and breaks the glass and then catch the box before it hits the ground.The easiest way I found was to drop the propulsion gel on it a bit at a time and then quickly drop water on it to stop it from bouncing.Keep repeating this until the box breaks the glass to create an opening and then jump and pull the box out.
